It took getting grounded for Candice Gilmer to realize her imagination was much more interesting than the real world. Stuck at home over grades in high school, she started writing her own stories — and she never stopped.

She published her first book, Fantasy Girl, in 2008. Since then, the USA Today and New York Times bestselling author has published 50+ romances about werewolves and vampires, cyborgs and sexy aliens, demons and fairy tale princesses — a range as wide as her proudly geeky heart. She's a devoted fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, and DC (yes, you really can love them all), and Captain America will always hold the top spot.

Her muse is very insistent and never runs out of ideas. Candice stays busy, and she wouldn't have it any

Many times the answer comes to me when my brain isn't stressing over it.

Or, in some cases, I'll go work on another project, because I always have a couple of things going on at once. (less)

If I stayed in my pj's, I'd wind up in bed, watching Netflix all day long. :)

I think the best thing is probably being able to adjust my hours. Writing is not my only job, I also work as a hairdresser. As a result, my writing time is flexed around my hairdressing hours and taking care of my kids, which means I may be writing over coffee in the morning, or I'm writing after everyone goes to bed, it just depends on the day.

As long as I get writing done every day, I'm good. I don't care when I get it done, just that I do it.(less)

Behind the Pages

Writing a Grumpy/Sunshine Romance in a Post-War ColonyIt started with a feeling

Every book starts somewhere, and this one started with a single image: a woman who gives light to everyone around her, and the blunt stranger who refuses to let her burn herself down doing it. Relentless warmth meets merciless honesty. That contrast drove every choice I made.

The question underneath it was simple: what h

“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.”
― Candice Gilmer, Fantasy Girl

“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”
― Candice Gilmer, Mission of Christmas

“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.”
