The character of Steve Horne is not totally mine. The idea for Steve came from the character of James Horne (actually spelt Horn but I like this spelling better) that appeared on the Millennium episode Dead Letters. The concept of Mooreland first appeared in a role-playing game in the late 1980s, as did the Roberts House and the Moore Manor and are totally mine. Celtic Wolfhounds are fictional but are based loosely on Irish Wolfhounds and are, again, mine.

The names Medb and Finn come from Celtic mythology. Other references in the series include:
