Goodreads asked Lorel Clayton:

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

Lorel Clayton Family history is always a source of great mystery plots I think. There's a legend in my family about my great grandmother who raised me. She came from "back East" somewhere, forced to bear a child for her sister, married an alcoholic and moved across the country to escape them, and she danced on her husband's grave when he died. Where did she come from? What was her family name? How did she escape them ... and how did her husband really die?
