Goodreads asked R.T. Lund:

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

R.T. Lund Both of my parents were orphans who never knew their fathers. My mother grew up in Germany during Hitler’s rise to power and WWII. Her mother worked as a bookkeeper for her father’s company; they were never married. Shortly after she was born, the Nazi’s commandeered one of his factories to make war machinery. He left Germany and became a courier for the French underground until he was captured and executed around 1940. At about the same time, when my mom was about six, her mother was taken to a “sanitarium” and my mom was placed in an orphanage in the town of Arolson. Less than a year later, she was told that her mom had died of “natural causes”.
