Goodreads asked Rachael Adam:

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

Rachael Adam I got the idea for the book from research I did about politicians who support bullfighting. It felt cathartic to write the book and depict Pepelito as a hero. I also got very frustrated by the fact that most bullfighting stories depict this activity in a romanticised way and the bull's perspective is not included. So I wanted to write a book that was based on facts and shows the bull in a sympathetic light.
