"Romance, passion, desire... It's that one shallow breath before your lips meet in a first kiss..."

Candace Wall awa K.R. Lawson - Aspiring author - Contemporary Romance and YA Romance

Living on the beautiful coast of Maine with my wonderful husband, four great kids and a menagerie of four legged critters, I am a part time stay at home mom, part time writer, subsitute teacher and Animal Control Officer for three towns. I grew up all over the world as an Army brat, and finally settled in Maine when I was nineteen. That was sevente… well, let’s just say it was a long time ago, and I still love the beauty of the coast. Though the winters could be a touch less brutal.

Yep, my plate’s pretty full, but there is one undeniable passion that I have. One thing that won't let me ignore it for long. And that’s writing. After years of putting off my dream of becoming an author, in Feb. 2008, I finally made the time to sit down, do some research and start to learn what I needed to know to get published. Boy was that a shock. Didn’t you just have to write the book? Yeah, okay.

Four completed manuscripts later, with a wealth of newly acquired knowledge, some finals in contests and a great trio of writing partners ( Jenn Bray-Weber, Marie-Claude Bourque, & John Roundtree) I've finally realized that writing is a bit like life... You NEVER stop learning. And the curve is excrutiating. But I wouldn't change a moment of my travel toward publication. Besides being a mother, there is little that can compare to the excitment and satisfaction of watching your ideas and characters come to life through the pages of a book.

I'd love to hear from you!
