There began his fascination with the awesome, unforgiving lake.

Lund has worked as a lawyer and corporate CEO, but at heart he is a storyteller, a Minnesota mystery writer, and the big lake has a role in each of his stories. Minnesota may be the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," but the coldest, deepest, darkest, most foreboding lake is home to more bodies, shipwrecks and secrets than all the rest combined.

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”.(less)

Once the rich guy has a successful transplant of the young man's kidney, he breaks off the engagement and abandons both the nurse and her son. Ultimately, she sues him but, unfortunately, never gets any satisfaction. A lawsuit with this fact situation was reported in Duluth, Minnesota. I incorporated some of the background and ideas in THE GHOST.(less)
