Goodreads asked Rachel Eliason:

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

Rachel Eliason It doesn't take much of a mystery. In fact, the small mysteries of life are great fuel for creativity.
The other day I was at the grocery store. I saw a woman in her thirties arguing with an older woman over vegetables. There was something about the way the younger woman rolled her eyes that told a story, a story of woman forced to play the mother role with her own aging mother.
I filled her backstory in as I shopped and by the time I left I had a new story idea; a lesbian romance about a woman who goes home to take care of her aging mother and meets the woman of her dreams in the process.
