Goodreads asked Sheldon Charles:

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

Sheldon Charles As a military brat, I've lived in several places and had a variety of friend groups. Pre internet, when you moved you lost contact and therefore friend's whereabouts years later is a mystery.

I could see writing a story where the protagonist has to track down a friend group from their past in order to solve a problem or fill in some missing part of their personal history. For spice, perhaps one of the group is working against them and tries to block the ability to find a particular friend who holds the key.

Hmm. Maybe I should start thinking about this, it might make a good story.
