🖤🕯️ THIS is what taking a bet on yourself can look like and we are here for it!!

Meet Leah Bronwyn — and her debut novel, A LIE SO PRETTY AND POISONOUS.

She wrote it. She put it out into the world. And when she asked me to make the candle for her book launch, I may have screamed a little. 😭

So here's what we made her: poison-green whipped wax over deep magenta, hand-piped and finished with a black skull, a tiny book, and a pink foxglove that matches the ones creeping up her cover. Scented in Sea Salt & Orchid — soft, clean, and a little haunting, which felt exactly right for a story this pretty and this dangerous.

Because if you're going to make a candle for a dark romantasy, you don't make a nice one. You make one that belongs on the villain's nightstand. 💀

Now let's talk about this book, because the trope list is UNHINGED in the best way:

🖤 A mom protagonist
🖤 Characters over 30 — finally, a romantasy that remembers we exist
🖤 Demigods vs. humans
🖤 Female rage
🖤 Weaponized religion
🖤 Slow burn + forbidden love
🖤 Trauma, survival, classism
🖤 And yearning. So much yearning.

A LIE SO PRETTY AND POISONOUS releases September 12th. 📖

Here's the thing about indie authors: preorders are everything. They're what tells the algorithm this book matters. So if any of that trope list made you sit up — preorder it.

🫐Blueberry French Toast Wax Melts 🫐
Wake up and smell the blueberries—because your mornings have been tragically boring without them. This wax melt smells like a stack of buttery French toast loaded with fresh blueberries, minus the dishes and the regret of eating carbs at 11 PM. Each order comes with 2 French toast wax melts, so you can torture—I mean *delight*—two rooms at once. Your kitchen will smell like breakfast is happening, even if you're just eating cereal straight from the box. Your guests will ask what you're cooking. You'll smile mysteriously and say nothing. Spoiler: It's not actually food. But it smells so good, you'll check the oven three times to be sure.

🎃Pumpkin French Toast Wax Melts 🎃
Wake up and smell the pumpkin spice—literally. Our Pumpkin French Toast Wax Melts deliver all the cozy breakfast vibes without the carbs, the dishes, or the 6 AM commitment.

Perfect for fall mornings, lazy Sundays, or whenever you need to convince yourself (and your guests) that you've got your life together. No actual cooking required—just pure, delicious ambiance.

🍞 Here we observe the artisan in her natural habitat: gloved, over-caffeinated, presenting what appears to be a slice of bread.

It is not bread. It is wax. She is extremely proud. Do not clap — it startles her.

Observe the crumb. The air pockets. The delicate crust along the edge. Scientists are baffled. The artisan has not slept in what researchers estimate to be days.

But note: this is merely the specimen in its early form. The finished creature does not emerge until after dark tonight.

Tonight, she reveals what it becomes. Those with notifications enabled will witness it first. The rest will simply hear the commotion and wonder what they missed.

Drop a 🍞 to alert the rest. 👀
