Goodreads asked Joseph J. Luciani:

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

Joseph J. Luciani Interesting question. I would have to say that that my "mystery" has to do with the serendipity of my life. When I was in eighth grade I came down with a strep throat. The strep virus settled in my kidneys and I was bed ridden for my entire eighth grade year. Because of this, I wasn't able to take the exam for admission to Catholic high school. I therefore had no choice but to go to a public high school (a fate worse than death, since going to a Catholic high school was the goal of every parochial grammar school student). It was in Fort Lee High School that I met my future wife and wound up having two wonderful children. And the mystery is that everything important to me in life was because of a streptococcal virus!
