Goodreads asked P.K. Davies:

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

P.K. Davies I am a very iniquisitive person so I don't let things become mysteries; I will persevere until I find the answers and then they are no longer mysteries. But there is one incident I experienced which has no logical answer. I referred to it in my upcoming book, The Girl Of Drovers's Hill. I was driving along a semi-rural road. There was a young mother walking on the sidewalk with a child, about three years of age. The child was on the inside of the woman and was picking up leaves from the tree-lined area they were passing (it was autumn). As I approached I had a very strange feeling and, for no known reason I slowed to almost walking pace. When I reached the woman and child, the child suddernly darted from the inside of the woman into the middle of the road to pick-up a leaf. Of course, I was able to stop without touching her. I will never forget the woman's face as she looked at me through the windscreen. Like me, she is probably still wondering what happened - or rather, what didn't happen.
