Hi! I just started reading Soulless and I was wondering if the other series (Finishing School and Custard Protocol) is connected to its story line? Am I right to read the Parasol Protectorate first? I love your writing style by the way. You have a very nice way with words. I'm barely in the middle but I'm seriously loving Alexia Tarabotti. Hopefully I'd finish all your books before this year ends. ^^

All my books are interconnected, think of them a little like Lackey's Valdermer books. Or McCaffery's Pern.
You can read them in the order written:
Parasol Protectorate
Finishing School
Custard Protocol
Or in chronological order:
Finishing School
Parasol Protectorate
Custard Protocol
I even have readers who have only read the CP series and are still immersed.
People seem to get things out of the books either direction. Within each series you should read the books in order. They series themselves, are designed to be read in any order, and upon rereading in a new order you learn new things about cross over characters.

Gail Carriger:
I absolutely adore both your Parasol Protectorate and your Finishing School novels. Alexia and Sophronia are my sort of heroine and I think it would be so much fun to take tea with Lord Akeldama. Thank you for writing such lovely steampunk/fantasy. I also really enjoyed your short story, Marine Biology. Do you think we'll ever see more from that world? It was so much fun!

Hi Ms. Carriger. I'm almost halfway through Changeless and read Alexia's first encounter with M. Lefoux. I noticed there's this question about her being bisexual and I got curious whether her attraction can be considered being unfaithful to Conall Maccon? Oh dear, I've already asked so many questions. I just fell in love with this series so, so hard and I want to understand every dimension of it. ^^
