Goodreads asked Pat Jourdan:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Pat Jourdan One Hundred Views of NW3 came about as I thought of the underside of the Swinging London myth. It was actually a difficult time for women, with much of what happened hidden. It is also shows a pre-phone and car society, before gentrification removed poorer people from that neighbourhood.
The stories in Hotel Curtains and The Fog Index collections come from all over the place! Wondering about passers-by, overhearing bits of conversations, wondering 'what happened next?' and trying to solve the puzzles.
