The Story Behind This Book

Kickshaw Candies began as a short story and grew over time to become my first novel. The characters wrote most of the stories and I have to give them much of the credit. I was tired of copy cat fantasy that used the same tired characters, so I wrote a different fantasy.

Praise and Reviews

KICKSHAW CANDIES is like being a six-year-old and walking into the most wonderful candy store you have ever seen. You will read this book with that kind of wonderment as you discover all the mysteries hidden beneath the endearing characters and stories that Finnell’s imagination has so cleverly spawned.

In a world seemingly like our own, Kickshaw Candies opens its doors. As each new story and character is introduced, the tale becomes more mysterious and mystical; for the people who live here and the histories they share go far beyond typical human days. The story unwraps quickly at a can’t-quite-put-this-book-down pace, and we soon realize that while this little candy shop exists in our typical world, there is nothing typical about it or its owners at all.

From page one of this story, it may seem impossible that the fantasy would ever connect with reality, but Finnell does an amazing job of drawing you into the lives and minds of peoples with special powers, ancient grudges, and future callings. There are moments of bliss, moments of terror, and moments of triumph nestled in a well-written, imaginative story that readers will find as tasty and addictive as the corner candy shop.
