Goodreads asked Sheldon Lee Compton:

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

Sheldon Lee Compton I had this sixteen-year-old step-uncle who sort of tried to be a dad to me because his older brother, my step-dad, was an abusive alcoholic deadbeat. That was when I was six and seven years old. I figure I've been storing that experience all this time for this book.
