Goodreads asked Jan Turk Petrie:

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

Jan Turk Petrie Nothing that would be dramatic enough to sustain a whole novel. My books draw very little from my life - I prefer to make up my characters and the situations I plunge them into. If there were some extraordinary mystery in my life, I'd probably prefer to keep it private.
