BioAuthor of SOULLESS, out through Orbit US, Oct. 1, 2009
Ms. Carriger began writing in order to cope with being raised in obscurity by an ex-patriot 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 now resides in the Colonies, surrounded by a harem of Armenian lovers, where she insists on tea imported directly from London and cats that pee into toilets. She is fond of teeny tiny hats and tropical fruit.
SOULLESS, the first book in her Parasol Protectorate Series is a comedy of manners set in Victorian London full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea drinking.
This journal chronicles her forays into the publishing industry as a writer and reviewer, as well as addressing outside interests in fashion, art, and science. She attempts to post at least three times a week, but may not when traveling foreign climes in hot pursuit of more Higher Learning and tropical fruit. She is now tired of referring to herself in the third person.
