Goodreads asked Ricky Baxter:

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

Ricky Baxter True story. As a child in infant school, my friends and I were in the playground being typical kids. During our games, I jumped from a high bench and believe it or not, I floated softly to the ground, as if my body were a feather. In fact, even my friends at the time saw and started screaming with wonder. We were so mystified and fascinated that we all took turns jumping from the same bench, trying to experiencing the same mystery. Unfortunately, I never did experience it again. Was it simply a gust of wind at the time or something else?

Either way, I think it would make a great premise for a story!
