Thanks for the deep dive, guys! The Artemisia is based on the Ansonia Building—almost all the details are real. The goblin is named Volstead—as in the Volstead Act that began Prohibition. Pearl is based loosely on Mercedes de Acosta.

I am kicking myself for missing the Volstead Act reference! That is perfect! We absolutely loved the book and I cannot wait to read more of your work. And the Ansonia is definitely on my list of places to go and find on the weekend now! I love exploring new parts of the city.

Pearl also has a dash of Rita Lydig and a couple of other socialite/models of the era.
