Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) While strolling the aisles of an open-air market one fine Sunday morning something caught my eye that stopped me dead in my tracks. "Will you look at that," I said as I raced towards a booth with my husband in close pursuit.At the booth I picked up the object that I had spied. It was a miniature aquarium of sand, seashells, glass fish and blue water. Only, "Hey wait a minute, this isn't water! What is this stuff?" I asked. "Gel," she said, "it's a gel candle." "It's a candle?" I asked amazed, as I turned it about. I was mesmerized as I looked down upon it, and up at it, and into it sideways and all around, turning it this way and that in the light. "Yes, it's a candle. I have three different sizes as you see here," she said as she pointed to the items on her table. As I clasped my mini-aquarium, I gazed at the other candles on display. They were all beautiful. "Who makes them?" I asked. "My brother and I do," she replied. "You make them? How?" I asked, but she just shrugged with a knowing smile, her gel candle secrets kept safe within. I bought that lovely little aquarium, and to this day it remains unlit a reminder of my first step into the world of Gel and the journey that followed. Like myself, when others see the gel candles, many questions come to mind: --What is this stuff? --How is it made? --How do I color the gel? --What wicks do I use? --How is it scented? --What glassware can I use? --What items can I put in the candles? --How do I package the candles? --How do I price the candles? --How do I sell the candles? --Gel candles are fun, easy and very lucrative! I've sold numerous candles since that fateful day that I first saw them at the open-air market. And when I see that same glint in someone else's eyes, I realize that all the HOURS were worth it. For I know that they too have become hooked on their magical charm. At that very moment in time they have become a faithful customer, or another hooked crafter. Either way, they want more and they want it now. And I know you're hooked too, or you wouldn't have read this far. I have good news for you... If you've been wondering how to get started... Or have been frustrated trying to piece all the information together... You can now relax. You won't have to spend months accumulating, sifting and cataloging the information for your gel candle hobby or business. I have done it for you leaving you time to 'play' at the Gel.

I had gotten my first order for an ocean theme gel candle about the same time your book (How to Make & Market Gel Candles that Sell Like Wildfire!) arrived in the mail, and boy was I grateful! I have been making paraffin candles for a while now, but I had never made a gel candle before. Your book was a life saver. I would not have been able to make my gel candle without the help of your book. I read the book as I was making the candle and it turned out excellent... so good in fact, that the person I made it for showed it off to her family and friends as she was so pleased. Consequently, I received more orders! It was definitely a win-win situation for all, thanks to what I learned in your book. Thanks so much. I now would buy any "How to Book" that you have written, sight unseen, based on how informative your Gel book was. I do believe your book is very instrumental to helping someone make and understand the gel candles; so if my opinion helps someone decide if they should buy the book or not, then that would make me feel good, because I know I have helped someone else like me get the knowledge they need. How to Make & Market Gel Candles that Sell Like Wildfire! contains concise, detailed and easy-to-follow information. It has become the resource for both the novice and the experienced gel candlemaker. Highly recommended. This is a great book about gel candle making. We could not have been more pleased with Lynn's book. What we knew about gel candles before purchasing this book would have fit on the head of a pin. Thanks to this book, my sister and I now own our own candle business. We continue to use How to Make & Market Gel Candles That Sell Like Wildfire! for reference and all of the information is right on target with everything we continue to learn. Thank you, Lynn, for giving all of us this great tool. We have learned so much.
