Goodreads asked Dean Backus:

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

Dean Backus I had a fairy godfather name A. Haron Masters for awhile. He lived somewhere in SF. We met online via a discussion website, and when it mutated/died he sent invites to some of his favorite people and created an email alias so we could all stay in touch. He sent me a mix CD and other special things over a couple years. Then one day I reached out via email when I hadn't heard from him for a few, I got a response back from his partner saying he'd died (he was up there in age). To this day I know almost nothing about him, except he was kind to me, came out of the ether, and disappeared back into it.
