Goodreads asked Bruce Beckham:

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

Bruce Beckham Oh - well - I've used several of them (no murders, of course - other than I am a friend of the Chief Prosecutor for Scotland, which helps in that regard).

I shouldn't like to give too much away - but a small example - the rather ghostly mystery entitled 'Grandmother's Clock'- one of the short stories in 'Murder, Mystery Collection' is 100% factual - it really happened to me - and it's still ticking right now, on the wall beside me!

And as a keen outdoorsman I've had a couple of sightings of mysterious 'big beasts' - so I'm thinking this might be something that Skelgill will encounter in future.
