About this author

“Mom! Can’t you work in here???” bellows Candice Gilmer’s seven-year old.

“No,” Candice replies, knowing that Thomas The Train will kill the ability to write anything even remotely sexy.

Not that she sits far away – a mere twenty feet away from the television and her daughter. Still, that twenty feet is evidently more than the child can handle. The two-year-old, however, has no problem with Mom in the other room, and is happily clanking his trucks around, making the sirens go off non-stop.

Candice wonders who bought the noisy toys, and thinks if she can remember, they're going off the Christmas card list.

“But Mom… I’m hungry…”

The two-year-old’s enjoyment of his truck ends because he comes into the kitchen, grabs a bag of gummie treats and thru...more


It is called "Submission-itus."

I hit the "submit" button CONSTANTLY.

It feels like I'm constantly sending out pitches and submissions, and waiting on those dreaded rejection letters ALL THE TIME.

Right now, I have, currently, four out that I'm waiting to hear back from. And I've been sending them out in little doses like this since January. Although I'm at this strange place--where it's almost l... Read more of this blog post »

I adored it.

These guys, I have to give credit to for trying an original way to win their respective women... Reading romance novels!

The author did a great job with each guy's personality, they were all awesome.

Not to spoil anything, but poor Adam!...more
Better Than Chocolate by Sheila Roberts
I really liked this. While the parts about Muriel (the heroine's mother) bummed me out, it was expected since she was newly a widow. That was probably my only complaint.

The Sterling family was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed getting to know them. I chee...more

I always enjoy a good suspense novel. This one was good. I am a fast reader and I had to slow down while I read because stuff happened very quickly.

The tension between the hero and heroine was great. I got a bit of a crush on Gun myself. I wanted to...more

I was very surprised when I read this. I started it because I downloaded the parts from the Facebook giveaway, and thought I had it all.

When I found myself 2/3 through and desperate to know how it ended, I knew I had a good book.

It is a romance......more

“Sure you are," Jack replied. He sashayed up next to me, and yes, it was a sashay, he was far too damn smug for his good looks. Damn me for getting all girly inside at the sight of him coming over to rescue my damsel in distress.

Then he became the ultimate man.

He picked up the flat spare, looked at it, and said "Yep, it's flat."

"What are you, a rocket scientist in your spare time?"

"Only on the weekends.”

“Seriously, isn’t there enough holiday cheer around here? You all don’t have to invade my office.” I glared at my coworkers, decked out in their fancy Christmas finery, complete with Santa hats and jingly socks.

I should have been expecting this—it was a week before Christmas. -- Erica”

Lyrical Press Books: Hi there, from Candice Gilmer 5 3 Mar 26, 2012 06:09pm  
“Commandment #1: Believe in yourself. Commandment #2: Get over yourself.”
Kristan Higgins

“Family gatherings were... um, let's see, what's the word I'm looking for?... Hell. They were hell. Being the middle child, I served and referee and confidante, hostess and martyr. Did I feel we should get together once in a while? Sure. Did I want my family all together? Theoretically, yes. In reality, dear God, no.”
Kristan Higgins, All I Ever Wanted

“You asked why I couldn't forgive you," Nick said, very quietly, and I jumped a little. "It was because you were the love of my life, Harper. And you didn't want to be. That's hard to let go.”
