Candice's Bio:

Candice has been collecting items from the Georgian and Regency periods for over 40 years, from furniture to paintings to ceramics to magazines to fashion accessories and more. As a serious collector, she has researched the historical and social contexts of her collections, gaining a good knowledge of the Regency period. It was her collections that ultimately led her to become a speaker on the period, and to write books set during the period.

Candice is currently a popular speaker on topics based around her various collections, including fashion prints, ladies’ magazines, sentimental jewelry, fans, silhouettes, and more. Her audiences have included libraries, museums, women’s organizations, writers groups, college classes, Regency societies, and many Jane Austen groups and festivals. To book her, see the information here.

Candice first decided to write after reading more than one traditional Regency romance that incorrectly described an item she collected. Rather than just screaming, “No, no, that’s wrong!” she decided to try her own hand at writing a Regency. Her first book, A Proper Companion, was published in 1995 as the result of winning a writing contest. She went on to write more traditional Regencies as well as longer historical romances and two novellas. She has self-published much of her backlist as ebooks, as well as a few Regency short stories. The covers of her traditional Regency ebooks and short stories utilize Regency fashion prints from her own collections. Her books have won numerous awards and some have hit the New York Times and USA Today bestsellers lists.
