Goodreads asked A.D. Hopkins:

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

A.D. Hopkins Originally wanted to write about a character named "Really Big Ben" and invented a charismatic and principled small-town lawman to wear that name. Then I invented the supporting characters, teen-agers Stony and Jack, who grew into the main characters. But Ben remains important to the story.
