A Goodreads user asked Charissa Weaks:

Such a lovely name! What was your inspiration for the Witch Walker series??

Charissa Weaks Back in 2017, I decided to put together an anthology based around the Wheel of the Year/pagan festivals. The old ways are very interesting to me. The first anthology’s theme was vampires and was set around the Winter Solstice. That book was published in December of 2018 and contained short stories, novelettes, and novellas from all genres and many talented authors. I knew that the 2019 volume would center around Mabon/Autumnal Equinox and witchcraft/witches. So the seeds for The Witch Collector were born then.
I didn't realize it until after I'd written the book, but my mom inspires a lot of the elements in my storytelling. She was a special needs educator for twenty-five years and also a music/piano teacher. When I was young, she learned ASL in order to translate song lyrics.
