Normally I'd lock something like this but in this case I think it's generally useful enough not to be obviously tied to a specific book.
If you plan on putting a time line of events into the front of your novel, make sure the time line doesn't contain significant spoilers for that particular novel. It's a lot less surprising to learn something like "Rosebud is the sled" if you've got "Rosebud revealed to be the sled" right there in the time line on page one.
Note the book that inspired this did not in fact contain a sled called Rosebud.
