About the Scent: Black Violet & Saffron
Keira, the author of From a Heart Shaped Box, and I, were discussing my candles one day. I had just received some new samples, and found one I absolutely loved. Sometimes, a book inspires the scent, and sometimes I find a scent I love, and go on a search for the perfect book to match. Finding my scent for From a Heart Shaped Box was one of the latter situations. When I suggested I wanted to find a book for my Black Violet & Saffron candle scent, Keira asked me to take a look at her book. I read the blurb and immediately knew I’d found the book I was looking for. Both are absolutely beautiful, and since both the book and the scent have a sort of “dark” personality, they match in ambiance perfectly. I hope you enjoy!

Many other shops offer book inspired candles, but since The Picky Bookworm specializes in self-published and indie books, the candles from The Picky Bookworm are truly one of a kind. I work hard to make sure each scent offers an immersive experience with the book and inspires positive memories.

About The Book: From A Heart Shaped Box
—Synopsis is from Amazon—
From A Heart-Shaped Box is a collection of nine short stories focusing on various forms of love, with the finale being the novella Oath Breaker. Within the book are stories of metamorphosis, brokenness, loss, sacrifice, inner strength, retribution, and much more!
Though the stories within From A Heart-Shaped Box are works of fiction, it captures raw sentiment and shares it with the reader to let them know that while life experiences differ, emotions don’t, and we are truly never alone.
Quiet Hearts
A powerful story about how our first love, while lost, never truly leaves our hearts.
Fret No More
A deeply personal story that highlights the sacrifice that is forced upon us as children living through the hellish nightmare of an abusive and broken home.
Soul Mender
An endearing story of perseverance, sacrifice, and the profound depths of teacher’s love for her students during times of hardship and seeing the beauty within a child’s heart.
Forever by W.H. Ringer
Toxic and misguided love is highlighted, leading us into the darker side of unrequited love.
Absolution
This story shows a glimpse into the horror of war and into a soldier’s heart who is but a pawn in the grand scheme of two warring rulers, and sees his awakening and atonement through self destruction for the suffering he has caused.
Star Holder
This story shines a light on the depths of a mother’s love for her child and sees her determination to do whatever it takes to help her child carry on.
Amelia
This centers on finding your inner strength to push through the void you’re trapped in, be it depression, an abusive situation, self hate, among many other things and finally loving yourself enough to demand better for you.
Bottle a Butterfly by Autumn Curtis
This story speaks of transition and metamorphosis in becoming who you truly are and the death of what you once were, letting readers know that genuine happiness is there once you break free of the limitations that bind you.
The Dance
This classically written story harkens back to the grandiose ideals that love at first sight is possible while illuminating the truths that deem it unreal, in that events witnessed are what draw a person to love another and not just their looks.
Oath Breaker
In this novella you follow a young boy, bound by obligations because of his station in life, transform by finding his own path through the help of a dear friend into a man who places value in the honorable and hard right over the easy and dishonorable wrong choosing instead to alienate himself for the greater good.

From a young age, Keira had a vivid imagination that took her to far off lands, thrust her in the middle of daring battles, and saw her fearlessly achieve the unimaginable.
Hailing from West Texas, Keira grew up the oldest of five siblings. She was introduced to the works of Jane Austen by her grandmother at a very young age. This sparked her love affair with books and writing. As a budding author, Keira has shown that sheer determination and resilience are keys to growing in the literary arts.
Keira currently resides in Dallas, Texas with her husband and five children, two dogs, and three cats. She is active within her community as her neighborhood city liaison, currently taking courses to be her local school district ambassador, works as a Guest Educator, and holds a Vice President board position with the local PTA.
In her free time, Keira enjoys reading books of all different genres, writing, photography, painting, crafts, hanging with her family, playing video games, and Moscato.
Keira also joined me on The Picky Bookworm podcast, and be sure to check out the guest post she wrote for people with ADHD and have trouble finding space in their heads to read.
