Goodreads asked Thomas Hoobler:

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

Thomas Hoobler A publisher told me nobody would publish a YA novel about a school shooting, so I figured I wouldn't have much competition. The publisher was afraid there would be a school shooting and they would open the shooter's locker, find the book, and blame the publisher. So that gave me an idea...what if you just moved to a town where there had been a school shooting and they assigned you to the locker that the shooter formerly had. Would you be curious?
