About the Author

Candler, Angela: -

I came to writing later in life, and when I did, it felt less like discovery and more like remembering a language I had always known. It was never about escaping the world, but about returning to myself. After years of chronic illness and old, quiet wounds, I needed a way for those truths to breathe. Storytelling became that doorway, a kind of soul alchemy.

By the time pen met paper, I had already walked a deep path of healing through mindfulness and embodied practice. On the page, ache and wonder, scars and stardust wove together. Fantasy braided with truth, and the stories I once only carried inside finally learned to fly.
