I’ve spent many hours perusing the internet, talking to authors, praying, and thinking about how I was going to get this “candle book” off the ground. The journey from first word written to first copy sold was long and messy. I didn’t have much idea what I was doing during any of it.

My blog features the writing, editing, illustrating, publishing, and marketing journey of Candle’s Great Feast. If you’ve ever wondered how a book comes to be, want to publish yourself, or just like stories, I discuss the whole journey here.

This is the story behind the story. Buckle up.
