Everyone thinks that Witchetty-woo was inspired by Tremors and monster movies, but in truth it was yet again me talking myself out of writing a third Our Fathers book. Originally this was to happen in Scotland, but the Audiobook for the Super Nice Monster Squad made me change my mind. In the audiobook, Larry the lizard has an Australian accent and I absolutely fell in love with that Character after hearing him talk with an Australian accent. So, Spiders Invade Aberdeen, became Witchetty-woo, and me having fun with the Scottish dialect became me having fun with the Australian dialect instead. I wrote the entire book just thinking about the audiobook and what these Australian accents would sound like firing quips at each other, I was genuinely in tears laughing every time I wrote anything with Jayson and Raymond in it together that involved them drinking.
