Goodreads asked Steve Andrews:

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

Steve Andrews When I was a boy and into my teens I was sometimes awoken by a loud humming or droning noise that only I could hear. My parents and sister were unable to hear it and were fed up with me waking up the house about this. My mother said I was having nightmares but this made no sense because I was fully awake. I told UFO researcher and author Jenny Randles about it and she told me she thought I might have been experiencing hummadruz. The term is made up of "hum", "drone" and "buzz." I knew Jenny because I was involved with UFO research too and had had a number of sightings. Whatever the sound was I never heard it again after at the age of 19, a friend of mine, who was sleeping in the same room as me, woke up at the same time and asked what the loud humming noise was. I felt great relief that someone else at last had heard it. It remains an unsolved mystery.
