Candace Lynn Talmadge is the author of Stoneslayer, a dark high fantasy series of political intrigue, demonic warfare, and spiritual awakening inspired by her past lives.
An author, storyhealer, and paranormalist, Candace Lynn Talmadge weaves words into wider realities. She is a former business journalist who knew since age 12 that she wanted to write a paranormal novel and spent decades researching arcane topics. This ignited her passion for alternative spirituality, leading her to become a Sunan storyhealer. Her profound spiritual transformation resulted in the Stoneslayer paranormal fiction series, a fictionalized autobiography based on four of her past lives and the past lives of family and friends.6 attendees
