Know anything terribly interesting about Jacques Futrelle?
If my family is to be believed, I'm related to him. I wish I remembered how. My grandfather used to tell me our family was rich and famous but all that sank with the Titanic. I knew he was teasing me and was a little shocked, years later when my younger cousin mentioned that it was neat that I was a writer, "Just like Jacques Futrelle".
My grandmother confirmed that, yes we were related to him. Apparently, said younger cousin had done some family tree project for school. I was more than a little bummed out when she didn't still have it to show it to me.
