Spin-off from the truth is the stranger than fiction thread as originally inspired by JT Woody.
Family history can be a great jumping off place for story ideas. Twenty years ago, I came across an 1852 divorce notice wherein a a woman unrelated to me (alas) divorced my great, great, great grandfather. She then moved to Texas with their children as well as his children from a previous marrage. That is the last mention of him I've ever found. I've always wondered, what happened? Conjectures about that question resulted in Book II, entitled Days of Sun and Shadow, which goes on presale the first week of November.
