Beginning in the 1780s, American merchant-traders have begun to compete with the British, Dutch, Swedish, and (less so) the French in the one port city open to the West, Canton.

Then, in reading about Thomas Paine’s life, I discovered that he had been a key player during the early days of the French Revolution, and that, in turn, led me to learn more about the role of Americans in Paris during that time. There seemed to be a story there centered around the American expatriates, and one thing led to another (including a few trips to Paris), and I found myself writing the novel.
