Goodreads asked Aaron Conaway:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Aaron Conaway The village of Timberhaven was, at first, only created so that various characters and concepts I'd thought up over the years - the ones I didn't really know what to do with - could have a home. I made them up with no real story in mind, so Timberhaven was kind of like the toybox I used to house my little Island Of Misfit Toys. Suddenly those characters started talking to each other; started playing with those loose concepts. Thus, Waking The Weaver was born.
