Goodreads asked Heather Burnside:

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

Heather Burnside "Slur" started off as a feel good book. I used to write once the kids were in bed and I would reminisce about great nights out I used to have when I was in my 20s. I then decided that I wanted it to be more gritty so I turned it into a crime thriller by asking the question "What if?" i.e. "What if the lead character's life was to take a dramatic turn for the worst because of the fateful events of a night out that went wrong?"
