Goodreads asked Alastair McKay:

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

Alastair McKay The author Beatrice Colin asked me to write something for an online journal she was editing. I wrote about punk in North Berwick. She told me she could read a book about it. I filed that thought away for a while, and then realised there was more to the idea than I first thought.
