Goodreads asked Sara Niles:

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

Sara Niles If you mean this question generally: any mystery that has romantic potential for a romantic plot, family drama secrets, like skeletons in the family closet, local secrets; for example, I will not divulge where this happened, but there was a murder in a small town by one of the richest men in town....everyone suspected he did it, but there was no proof and he was powerful. That would have made a great movie, and it had all the elements of a great book.
If YOU had been a member of that family, you may have been on his murder list if you wrote about it while he was alive. He died and the rumor continued...we will never know the details.
Crime Drama, Romance, Social Issues, Natural Disasters, Near Death experiences....the list is endless
AS for MY life, I have already written about it...not too many secrets left: I wrote about my personal experience as the product of prostitution, my life of being abused, how mental illness impacted the Niles family, about murder and suicide, all within the family,,
Keeping Secrets about subjects that hold a public stigma, is the reason why the stigma remains.
WE must stop hiding the truth and speak up, stand up, in order to impact change
