Goodreads asked Brian MacLearn:

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

Brian MacLearn I was listening to the radio in the car and there was a story about bullies on the playground. Later that same night, the evening news was showing a clip of a victim fighting back against the bully. He actually hurt the bully, whose parents were thinking of pressing charges. The thought came to me; "What if the bully was still in your life twenty-five years later?" It became the premise for Against the Current.
