Goodreads asked J.C. Paulson:

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

J.C. Paulson Funny you should ask. Hubs and I discovered a bullet-riddled car in the middle of the forest last year. What on Earth was it doing there? We thought it had been there for at least 40 years, probably much longer.
And so I wrote Two Hundred Bones.
