I'm thinking about the possibility of a book about the other grandparents - not so much a mystery, but still an unusual set of characters - or continuing something else focused on the NYS mental health system - or maybe shift gears and focus on my wife's family - her great grandfather was in the civil way and fought in Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg.

This book started out as a straight out series of blog posts on my genealogy hunt. Then I decided I also wanted somewhat of a historical fiction voice to try to bring these long lost grandparents to life. And then (as was likely inevitable when I began the project, although I didn't know it), it became a reflection on my father (gone now for 35 years) and why he chose to keep this entire half of our family story a secret.
