Goodreads asked Consuelo Roland:

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

Consuelo Roland The Limbo trilogy was inspired by a story my mother brought back from her travels. Her flight from Milan was re-routed to Paris due to a lightning storm. A stylish ground hostess was tasked with helping her to locate an item of lost luggage. They connected and were soon chatting like old friends. The young Frenchwoman let it be known that she did not plan on ever getting married. My mother, a traditionalist, chided her, saying it was all very well to be such a modern, independent woman but what about children? My mother's new friend had laughed and said that she kept a telephone number in her little black book. It belonged to an organisation in Belgium, where one could go with a real man who was superior in every way, and she would have a child in that way.
