Goodreads asked Mike Torreano:

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

Mike Torreano I was just saying to my brother the other day that I wish I knew more about our grandpa's time in the Yukon during the Gold Rush days. My first published work was a short story, The Trade, that I conjured out of the snippet I knew (and I'd be happy to send it to anyone who would like to read it). What he did the rest of the two years he was there I don't know, but this question may inspire me to construct a novel-length tale around the nugget that I do know.
