Elizabeth Hoyt:
the stories that you include at the beginning of your maiden lane series, do you write those? where do they come from?
Elizabeth Hoyt
Yes, I write them all, although some obviously are influenced by existing myths/fairy tales/folk tales. The one in Darling Beast, for instance, was a complete mash up of Theseus and the Minotaur. Some, however, are entirely original. The one I'm working on right now for Duke of Desire (out August 2017) is entire from my head. ;-)

Hello! I have recently done a complete reread of all of your Maiden Lane books (wonderful!) and I have a question you may have answered this before, but I have not seen it. Where do you get the inspiration for the stories that start each chapter? Are they written by you or do you find them?

Elizabeth Hoyt:
oops I'm so sorry about the question about the Lords of Chaos, I just saw that other ask about it and your answer and I've got to say I'm so excited (just for everything Maiden Lane to be honest...) Also is Alf really 23 in Sweetest Scoundrel, or does her book involve a bit of flashforwarding? Also (sorry for the pestering) but can you update the family trees of the Maiden Lane characters? Thank you!
