The Witch's Halloween Hero

The setting feels so festive and whimsical, but I wonder if the holiday was always meant to be central or if it evolved during writing. What inspired this festive backdrop for magic and romance?

The story was light and fun, but I was curious if others felt the romantic tension sometimes overshadowed the humor, or vice versa. How did the author find that sweet spot?

The holiday adds such a fun and spooky vibe, but I wonder if there was a personal significance or a creative idea that sparked this seasonal setting.
