Candace Ortiz writes dark romantasy filled with dangerous magic, complicated loyalties, sharp humour, and characters with desires that frequently undermine their better judgement. 
She loves capable heroines with a smart mouth and a praise kink, strong brooding men who know how to give her what she needs, and a romance that makes both their lives difficult but dripping with spice.
She lives in Alberta, Canada, with her husband and three sons, and is an advocate for writers with disabilities. 

A Stitch of Shade and Soul is her debut novel set to release in February 2027.
