Teia Blackshear Collier asked Elizabeth Hoyt:

Where did the idea for the Maiden Lane series come from? It is a delicious series -- just curious :)

Elizabeth Hoyt Hi Teia, I got the idea for Maiden Lane slowly over several years so it's hard to pin down to one thing. I wanted to write an extended series with reoccurring characters. I found out about the gin problem in early Georgian England, which gave me a setting. Then I started thinking about masked avengers like the Scarlet Pimpernel and things took off. ;-)
