Goodreads asked Jim Lively:

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

Jim Lively That is a very intriguing question. After some thought, I would have to say that the mystery in my life is that I almost was not born. I was the youngest of four boys. Believe it or not, I did not learn that my mother had a miscarriage before the birth of my brother who is the next youngest in age. I suspect if she had not had a miscarriage, then I would not have been born since my parents settled on having four children. That scenario could lend itself to an interesting plot.
