Angela Candler: Rewrite & Rise

Angela Candler: Rewrite & Rise Writer of magical fiction + mindful empowerment. Writing & telling stories that heal. Chronic pain warrior. Welcome to the journey.

Women’s voice amplifier.
✨ Imagination meets resilience ✨ I’m Angela Candler, therapist, author, and unapologetic alchemist of healing, truth, and feminine fire. After years of living in survival mode, I reclaimed my voice, my story, and my power, and I help other women do the same. Through mashing up all my teachings, healing, therapy, writing, and soulful self-practices like facial yoga and mindfulness, psychosex therapy(women's wellness), I guide women to rise from burnout, trauma, and silence into fierce self-worth. I believe in messy magic, radical self-love, and starting over as many times as it takes. This space is where I mash it all up: healing, truth-telling, soul work, and a little rebellion.

And now… the editing era begins even though I edit as I go.. Here’s to the quiet magic after the storm.

Then onto to my fabulous BETA readers.

Being an indie author isn’t easy, but it is essential to who I am.
Writing is where my imagination is set free. It grows, it enchants, it evolves with every word I place on the page.
It grounds me, softens the chaos, and gently clears the noise from my mind.
So all my stories hold a space for healing and growth.

What is your reason for writing? I would love to know ❤️

Sunday Reminders..
Write the story.

Your story has a pulse of its own, and it might be exactly what someone else needs.

It may give them permission to breathe, to laugh, to cry… or even scare the living daylights out of themselves 😜
Whatever they’re carrying, your words can hold space for it.

That’s the quiet magic of being an author.

High Epic Dark fantasy lovers… I have something wicked for you.

They thought they could silence the prophecy by forcing my murdered twin sister’s heart into my chest, but all they did was awaken the monster they feared.

Buried at dawn beneath the roots of the Cairngorm mountains.
Risen by dusk with blood-soaked wings, bone-forged teeth, and a name that makes even the old gods tremble.

But before I became vengeance and shadow,
I was simply Moira Blackthorn, a lass who loved her sister more than she feared the dark.

If you crave fantasy with:

Morally grey heroines
Dark magic + ancient prophecies
Highland forests steeped in old-world folklore
Magical beings
Unseelie King
Sisterhood, grief, fury, transformation
Fated beings

Let’s unleash this story together.

Being a survivor myself, this moment is a powerful milestone, one I feel deeply in every part of me.

The SA statistics for DV but known as GBV and Femicide in SA:

1 in 3 women
15 women are unalived a day
We have 6 times the amount compared to any other country
Victim blaming

It began with women standing together, refusing to stay silent, and the world finally echoing the truth we’ve known all along..

This needs to STOP.

When we rise alongside one another, our strength becomes undeniable.
Look at what we can create when we choose unity over division, support over judgment, and courage over silence.

Together, we are unstoppable.

We have made history and thank you to the Women For Change for starting this campaign 💜

As of yesterday GBV was declared a National Disaster in SA.

Today we rise.
For every woman silenced.
For every child stolen.
For every sister who never made it home.
Today we lie down so this country finally stand up. Today, we refuse to be invisible.
Today, we make South Africa feel our absence, and our power.
This is only the beginning.
We will not stop.
Not until every girl grows up safe.
Not until every survivor is heard.
Not until the killing ends.

We rise together 💜

Friday Feelings, and why I think indie authors deserve better...

Lately, I’ve noticed a big rise in negative comments aimed at indie authors on social media, and honestly? It’s getting out of hand.

Just because someone chooses to self-publish does not make them any less of a writer than someone with a traditional deal. Many indie authors invest in editors, designers, marketers, and run full author businesses on their own. Their books touch lives, build communities, and offer stories traditional publishing doesn’t always take a chance on. What’s sad is that most of the negativity comes from people who have never written a book themselves.

It’s easy to criticise. It’s much harder to create.

But amidst all the noise, there’s something beautiful happening too:

There are incredible readers, coaches, reviewers, and fellow writers who show up every single day to champion indie authors. They share posts, leave reviews, cheer loudly, and help these books reach the readers who need them.

These people are the real heroes of the indie world. 💛

So here’s your reminder today:

Support creativity.
Support courage.
Support indie authors.

Why should you support? Because stories don’t need a corporation’s approval to be worthy. They just need a reader willing to believe in them.

This is one of my favourite dialogues I wrote for Ella.

"I was never just one thing; I was shattered pieces learning how to love their shape. I was the howl of grief, and the prayer of survival. Now, I am the quiet that comes after the storm. I am the woman who stayed and remembered to live. I am Ella."

Finding power within herself, accepting and letting go of all the emotions. Stripping herself back to this beautiful soul that was dying to come forward. Being authentic in her truth 🙏 leading with grace and forgiveness. Finally accepting herself and standing in her truth.

Fifty Years Brave by Angela Candler available on Kindle Unlimited

Mrs Mindful

Mrs Mindful takes us back to the time when we used to take pride in our self-care and didn't worry about rushing around. A time when we enjoyed that time without feeling selfish or guilty, you see it was a slower past time which let us indulge because that is how it was then. In today’s world, we are forever rushing around and most of the time making sure everyone else is fine but not ourselves. Mrs Mindful is here to help us remember that we also deserve some self-care. When you use our aromatherapy blends you feel indulgent without the expensive price tag or the guilt. Whilst being safe in knowing that our range is free from nasties, environmentally friendly & most of it is vegan. Remember mindfulness begins with us and how we treat ourselves, and this starts with self-care and love. So, take yourself back to a time with Mrs Mindful in this modern world and indulge in your self-care.
