Goodreads asked Susan McCormick:

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

Susan McCormick In my own personal life, I have no mystery. But in life, all around me, mystery abounds. As a cozy mystery writer, I see plots everywhere. The car share driver overly interested in how long I’ll be traveling? I see a set up for burglary. A cutthroat music competition that comes every four years with only one scholarship awarded? I see a mom who will do anything to help her child succeed. An arguing couple in a National Park? I see a husband who might lean too close to the edge and “fall off.” I am kind, sedate, and boring in my real life, but my imagination is full of mystery.
