When she's not tending to her chickens, splitting wood, or decorating cakes, she's working on a new story. Candice writes Modern Vintage Romance—where the past and present collide with faith. Her debut novel How to Charm a Beekeeper's Heart was a 2012 ACFW First Impressions finalist and made INSPYs Longlist for 2016.
