Goodreads asked Lisa Haddock:

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

Lisa Haddock My writing starts from true events or long-held ideas. In the late 1970s, three Girl Scouts were murdered at a sleepover camp. The first news reports stated that a lesbian Scout leader might be the killer. The investigation quickly focused on a male suspect. So I thought, what if a woman were framed for a sex crime and murder? My character Carmen was an imaginative exercise. I'm half Puerto Rican, but my name doesn't tip anyone off. I wondered, what would it be like to be a half-Puerto Rican with a Spanish name? I was off to the races.
