Gail Giles: Hello. My name is Gail Giles, and the Giles is a soft G like giraffe. Back in the age of the dinosaurs when I was born, my father wanted to name me after my mother, and my mother did not want that. They had not picked a girl's name because they had decided that I would be a boy. Finally, the woman that was in the hospital room with my mother said, "Will you just named her Gail? That's my daughter's name." Gail is actually my middle name, so I am Gail Giles. I write dark, edgy fiction, but I honestly have never murdered anyone, I've never eaten a litter of kittens for breakfast, but my name is Giles.
