Goodreads asked Nick R.B. Tingley:

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

Nick R.B. Tingley There's only one event that really springs to mind - although it is less of a mystery and more of a drama.

The long and the short of it, I was living next door to a guy who had these incredible mood swings - so much in fact that I couldn't face seeing him because it always seemed like an uphill struggle having a conversation with him. Every so often he'd knock on the door asking to borrow money and then - one day - he just disappeared...

I never saw him again - but he was found dead from an aneurysm a few months after. I would never have the heart to write a book about it - it's far too personal for my liking - but it certainly felt like I was embroiled in one of my mysteries at the time. But I still see his face every so often...
