OMG, please don't expect a lot from the plot, or from the setting, because I am so in over my head.
(But it is very awesome that you live near the Luxembourg gardens, I seem to be targeting various readers homes, by complete accident. Its been years since I've been there, but that's where I stayed when I was in Paris.)
I am so reluctant to admit that I found de Laverdy through a wild Wikipedia chase, but it was pretty strange serendipity that led me to him. He was the right time period, the right governmental office, and completely morally ambiguous (highly suspect actually), so he was perfect for my story. This actually isn't the first time I've managed to find exactly the historical event/character to match what i needed for a story, and they're always far more interesting than anything I could have come up with.
Don't lose faith in me! (Even if I have none in myself.)
