Goodreads asked Lucy Lakestone:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lucy Lakestone In VEXED BY VODKA, Book 3 of the Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries, the vanishing of Gramps Rockaway is the central mystery - along with the murders that surround his disappearance. He's bartender Neil's grandfather and a treasure hunter. When I was researching shipwrecks, I ran across a ship named for a notorious British historical figure who was connected with a very special treasure. Not to give anything away, but this inspired elements of the book (I give more details in the book's acknowledgments). And in this novel, it appears a secondary character, Pepper's hilariously annoying ex Mr. Mixy, is also being targeted by a killer. Let's just say Mr. Mixy is inspired by every egotistical, hapless, bad ex-boyfriend you can imagine!
