Today we’re joined by novelist Evelyn Ann Casey, whose newest work, Candlewood, blends romance, women’s fiction, and historical storytelling into a warm, atmospheric narrative. Evelyn’s prose is lyrical and immersive, and she’s known for crafting emotionally rich stories rooted in memory, place, and relationships.

Her work often explores the quiet spaces where love, regret, and second chances meet—stories full of compassion and the delicate complexities of human connection. Evelyn brings a historian’s rigor to her fiction, but her stories never feel weighed down by research; instead, her details breathe life into her worlds. She’s also a passionate advocate for stories about strong, complex women whose journeys reflect resilience and hope.
