Goodreads asked Mark L'estrange:

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

Mark L'estrange Hi there, sorry for the delay, I seem to have missed this question.
Alas, I am a victim of nothing much of any excitement-value ever happening in my life. There was an incident which happened to my ex-wife. We were visiting Hever Castle which was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn (Henry 8's second wife) and while we were walking up a small staircase my wife suddenly turned back and shouted at me for pulling her hair-she had very long hair. When she realised that I was still at the bottom of the stairs-professing my innocence-she realised that it was not me. But there was no one between us on the stairs either. When we mentioned it to the lady in the gift shop she said 'Oh yes, that'll be Anne, she hates anyone with hair longer than hers.' It turned out that my ex was not the only victim of Anne Boleyn's hair-pulling stunt as several other ladies had also complained of the same thing happening to them.
Freaked my poor ex out! She refused to ever go there again.
