In an interview posted at the Hatstand, Raven says of this story:
The first story I finished was "Tailor-Made", which I wrote on one Sunday morning in Norway in 1990; I'd started a couple of others in the years before, but neither had got very far. I released it on the Circuit (via Sara Slinn's Pros library), and a few years later I wrote a sequel. It's been a while since I've re-read that set of stories, and while some of the lines about Bodie's Harley make me cringe, I think on the whole it's a striking and effective piece of work... "Tailor-Made" grew from a throw-away remark from a friend about the "fatal attraction" that Bodie held for other men... I woke up one Sunday morning and was lying waiting for the alarm to go off for my early-morning writing exercise, and the plot of "Tailor-Made" came whole into my head, and I leapt out of bed and sat down at the dining-room table, and by lunchtime it was finished.
