New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger writes to cope
with being raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable
curmudgeon. She escaped small town life and inadvertently acquired
several degrees in Higher Learning. Ms. Carriger then traveled the
historic cities of Europe, subsisting entirely on biscuits secreted in
her handbag. She resides in the Colonies, surrounded by fantastic shoes, where she insists on tea imported from London.
