It would be a family mystery, because it affected my life through my father. He came from a well-off family, but in the 1940s the family lawyer was caught embezzling money. The morning before his trial, he killed himself in the empty courtroom, leaving no indication where he'd stashed all the money he'd stolen. My father's oldest brother hired investigator after investigator to try and locate the family money, and nothing ever turned up. A real story of taking a secret to the grave.

This was a great question, and I wanted to think about it. I'll have to say my favorite fiction couple is John Steed and Emma Peel, from The Avengers. They weren't a couple, per se, but their dynamic, his obvious respect for her, his treating her as an equal, her fierceness and fearlessness were definitely models for my two, main characters.
Thanks!

Most of my ideas come from recent history and current events, but sometimes seeing a person in town, at a restaurant, or somewhere else will get me thinking.

A novel I started during last year's NaNoWriMo. I recently got an idea for a big plot twist, and that meant some re-writing.

Just write. Don't worry in the beginning about how good it is; just get words on the page.

You get to enter the heads (of your characters) of so many people different from you; you see things from different perspectives.

I have a lot of projects going at once. When I'm blocked on one, I switch to another. If it's a widespread block, I read a book on my to-read list, and that usually does the trick.
