Goodreads asked Cedar James:

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

Cedar James There’s a stretch of Oklahoma backroad near my hometown that always gave me the chills—no cell service, no lights, just endless trees and the feeling that you were being watched. When I was a teenager, my car broke down there late one night, and a stranger appeared out of nowhere, helped fix my tire, and vanished before I could thank him. No headlights. No taillights. Nothing. I’ve never been able to explain it—and yeah, that eerie night could absolutely be the start of a twisty small-town thriller.
