Goodreads asked Ann Jeffries:

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

Ann Jeffries First, let me apologize for my failure to provide a quick response. I just found your question today.
WOW, that's an interesting question. I like to do historical research and there are family members I never learned about because my dad died at a young age. There is so much limited information that creates a mystery to clearly see the people who form my ancestry. If I were to plot a book based on that history, I'd have to write the story as a period piece; not modern day. For me as a writer that would be difficult to accomplish because of the amount of research that would be necessary to make the story sound authentic. It takes a skill level that I have not achieved to write historical mystery in 1700s.
I hope that I've answered your question. Thanks for contacting me.
Warm regards,
Ann Jeffries
