Goodreads asked Jeanne Gehret:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Jeanne Gehret Always having something interesting to think about! The 19th century setting of my books is just far enough away as to be quite unfamiliar to us. Every day, it seems, I learn about an object, custom, or person who fascinates me, and then, if possible, I work it into my story. Since I'm writing a trilogy, things that don't fit into the current book always have a chance of appearing in a later one. Courting customs of the Victorians were good for many hours of amusement.
