Colleen Deitrich asked Sam Wilson:

Why did you not involve Geminis in Zodiac? I was so excited to read what the society of San Celeste had to say about my sign, and you mentioned it only once. If you';re going to shoot for 11/12, you might as well add a Gemini detective or something! I guess the question I want answered is: why was Gemini the only sign not to have a major character attached to it, and why were we the only sign left out of the plot?

Sam Wilson Hi Colleen. You're right, of course. I greatly underestimated how interested readers would be to see how their signs played out in San Celeste. Gemini wasn't a deliberate omission - I just had the plot structured the way I wanted it and I didn't think about covering my bases. If it's any consolation I'm working on a follow-up to Zodiac that's set in the same world but following different characters, and I'm making sure that I'm more representative this time. One of the three major characters this time is a Gemini PR expert.
