Goodreads asked Lucy Lakestone:

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

Lucy Lakestone We're surrounded by mysteries, and I'm always wondering about the story behind everything. I don't know all the details behind why my immigrant grandparents came to the U.S. from Italy, for example, and the stories I heard when I was just a kid left me with a lot of questions.

Sometimes the mysteries seem superficially silly but could have a deeper story behind them; one of the best things about reading and writing mysteries is digging beneath the surface. My silly mystery is that during our wedding, or should I say after our wedding, someone made off with the pretty bucket that held the champagne bottle we were quaffing. I know it's just a champagne bucket, but I really loved it, and of course, it had sentimental value. What happened to it? And why would someone take the bride's champagne bucket? Sounds like the start of a Bohemia Bartenders mystery to me. :)
