Goodreads asked Russ Snyder:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Russ Snyder Interesting question indeed. Actually, the first book, 'Black Kayak', in my Jonathan Steele Series, set to debut this summer, is loosely based on my experience with my wife as an Innkeeper in coastal Maine. The location, setting, and many of the details in the story are based upon our own actual experiences. Also, the protagonists best friend and partner, George Wilson, is also my real life best friend. So part of your question has already not only been answered, but written of. Keep an eye out for the debut of Jonathan Patrick Steele in the summer of 2017, followed closely by the sequel, 'Relentless Pursuit'. The stories feature very strong humorous bantering between Jonathan and George as they "learn on the fly" how to be detectives in trying to solve what Jonathan suspects as foul play with regard to his niece's death. An announcement will be made when the release date is set. For a peek at the opening chapter/prologue of both books visit my website at: www.russellsnyderjr.com and click on books at the top, then just scroll down. Thank you.
