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

That said, the cases were not "mysteries," per se, as the circumstances were clear fairly soon, so unless I was tempted to do a "true crime" book—and I'm not—they do not give me material I can use.

Before THE GIRL IN THE BOSTON BOX, I wrote a novel that was suggested by some crimes in the Boston area, but I'm not sure I'd characterize them as being "in my own life." Rather, they were public events that provided fodder.

In the end, I'm more likely to use non-criminal events in my life to provide color to my writing. THE GIRL IN THE BOSTON BOX, in a sense, is all about things that I've lived, but divorced from the central mystery.(less)

The protagonists and their careers—and the chief plot device—allowed me to bring the city front and center into the narrative. (less)

Entertaining easy read about a vital time in American movie history. More gossipy than I anticipated. Despite the concentration on Coppola, Spielberg, and Lucas, Martin Scorsese plays a role, but doesn't get any credit, perhaps because he didn't traf ...more

Chuck and 16 other people liked Bizzy's review of Breakout Year:
Breakout Year by K.D. Casey
"The Unwritten Rules series is one of my all-time favorites and stands above most other sports romance series, but this book felt very different, and not in a good way. I struggled to finish this and was mostly skimming the last 40%.
