Goodreads asked Martin Turnbull:

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

Martin Turnbull The book I'm writing at the moment is #4 in a series of a planned 9 books set in and around the (real life) Garden of Allah Hotel which stood on Sunset Blvd from 1927 to 1959. This book is set during WWII and marks a turning point in the series. My characters now find themselves living during a dark time in a city deeply affected by a world war. Los Angeles had many war factories and the Hollywood movie industry became a huge and eager producer of wartime propaganda. There's so much story to tell, it's been a challenge to decide which ones to focus on!
