Goodreads asked M.E. Meegs:

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

M.E. Meegs I don't suppose there's any shame in admitting it, given current mores. I was visiting an opium den and, of the several scenarios which sprang to mind, this seemed the least likely to elicit a response from the postal inspectors. One hates to make such compromises, but an authoress must play the hand she's dealt. (Unless, of course, she's of nimble fingers and has her cold deck within easy reach....)
