Your husband stands just outside the fence, beckoning for you to join him. There shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary with that, but for the fact that he died many years ago... A centuries old journal, newly discovered, tells the tale of an unknown, lonely person living completely alone and isolated, deep in the forest, as strange events unfold around them. Disembodied voices, phantom footsteps in the dead of the night, strange, foreboding dreams- what will they all lead to as the unknown author struggles to understand what is happening? Come along on this strange tale to a time long forgotten by today's modern world, and meet, if you will, The Wood's Witch.----The following is an interview with the author of The Wood's Witch, Arthur James Tourot, conducted by the staff of Author's Times magazine.Author's Times- Where did the inspiration to write the story of The Wood's Witch come from? Arthur James Tourot- I was watching the 1965 Japanese film, Kwaidan, for the first time and I was completely and enjoyably absorbed in it. At the very end of the film, right before the end credits, I wondered to myself if I could ever write a ghost story as interesting and unique as the stories that are in Kwaidan. Suddenly, the entire story of The Wood's Witch appeared in my mind (including the name of the story), and I ran to get a piece of paper and a pencil so that I could write down an outline of it.Author's Times- Wow, that's so cool! How long did it take you to write it?Arthur James Tourot- It took me three months to write it and that includes the various drafts. Writing it was the most fun I've had writing anything in my life, so far. I loved being there, in the story, in my mind and in the forest. There was such a peaceful feeling there where the character lived, and I could feel that so strongly. Plus, the main character's voice in my mind was very gentle and kind. I loved writing it and sometimes feel sad that the story is finished. *Arthur laughs.*One thing I think I should share is that The Wood's Witch and my other autobiographical story (Coming Home), were originally published under my pen-name, Caden Daniel Ramses. I eventually grew tired of having that name and so I use my real name, now.Author's Times- You've hinted to us that there is a secret in the story of The Wood's Witch, one that no one has guessed.Arthur James Tourot- Yes, there is. All I will say to you and your readers is that there is something that stares at the reader from every page and is something that isn't really hidden at all, yet no one has seemed to notice it.Author's Times- You won't give us any hints? Arthur James Tourot- No, I won't. *Laughs.*Author's Times- Thank you for your time and for sharing some information about The Wood's Witch.Arthur James Tourot- The pleasure has been all mine, thank you.
