Goodreads asked Sean Best:

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

Sean Best The idea of Bloodstone and Broomcorn: Curse of the W.I.T.C.H. appeared in my mind suddenly like a brilliant bolt of lightning when I accidentally drank from a glass that I thought held egg nog which actually contained buttermilk. The shock was so great that the eerie image of the truth about the link between swamp gas and UFOs began unspooling in my brain so I opened my word processor and began typing as fast as I could while the eerie legend burgeoned and rapidly expanded exponentially into a chilling narrative revealing ancient secrets of the Forbidden Occult which have been hidden for eons in a rotting hovel maintained by witchcraft in the shadowy depths of a primeval bog where extraterrestrial biological entities voyage for many light years in order to consult with the festering hag who guards the powerful knowledge in a Book of Mouth overflowing with translucent touch-sensitive pages covered with inscrutable hieroglyphs which only she can comprehend. This olden tome is secreted in the depths of a bottomless pit of green slime at the brooding heart of a gurgling quagmire the foul stench of which the lethal hag alone conjures and reigns supreme. The mystery of the Book of Mouth is explained among the cryptic pages of Bloodstone and Broomcorn: Curse of the W.I.T.C.H.
