Goodreads asked Ross Howell Jr.:

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

Ross Howell Jr. My father moved us all over the country, from the east coast to the west coast. When I was six years old, my mother decided she'd had enough and left him, moving us to her family's farm in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. When I was nine years old, my father died. He was working at a hotel in Macon, Georgia. I've never know how he ended up there, or how he hit upon the different places we lived before I came to Virginia. Examining the mystery of those places, looking for some thread, might make for a novel.
