Goodreads asked Lena Jakes:

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

Lena Jakes Oh my - there are many - but the most compelling is that of my uncle's death.

He was a former police officer, and was found shot in the head in his bedroom, a tragedy that was ruled a suicide. However, the gun was on one side of the bed, and his body on the other. They claim that he was cleaning his weapon when a muscle spasm shook his hand in the process - a muscle spasm they attribute to an injury from years before.

I'm not an officer, but even I know, you don't clean a loaded weapon.
