JUST RELEASED--HALF BAKED WOMEN: THE REHEAT--Austin, Texas 1971: Four freshmen women, Carney, Breeze, Margo, and Nicki, randomly meet, and their ill-fated adventures quickly begin with road trips to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, beach trips at South Padre, and chaotic moving parties. Twenty years later, the four meet again for a weekend reunion in San Antonio and discover they each harbor secrets they hadn't planned on revealing. The novel is a mash-up of genres, featuring coming-of-age lessons, unlikely romances, and the power of female friendship, all wrapped up in laughter and tears.

FALLING FROM THE NEST: The Sisters of Green Tree--It’s 1946, and a sense of optimism is spreading across America. This novel swirls through the lives of nineteen-year-old twins, Jo-Jo and Sarah. New to the big city from Green Tree, Iowa, Jo-Jo pounds the pavement of Midtown Manhattan, hoping to make her way in the entertainment business. Her sister, Sarah, struggles as a misfit at the University of Iowa. For fans of historical fiction, you'll enjoy the background details of post-war America in both the small town of Green Tree and the metropolis of New York City. Readers who enjoyed The Lost and Found of Green Tree will be happy to know that the characters, Mariah and Nanette, make a few pivotal appearances in this novel as well.

THE LOST AND FOUND OF GREEN TREE--This novel begins in the late 1920s and quickly jumps into the difficult era of the turbulent Great Depression. The novel centers on the drama and adventures of Mariah and Nanette, two compelling, determined, but very different, ambitious young women, as they navigate the challenging economic times. Although both are from the same small town of Green Tree, Iowa, their paths diverge quickly as life takes them down unique paths.

WELCOME TO WONDERLAND--In the mood for a contemporary dramedy? Try Welcome to Wonderland--a novel about the acceptance, growth, and love unexpectedly discovered in a garden. The novel follows the separate lives of three complicated and diverse characters, Violet, Turner, and Rosario who are eventually thrown together. I hope you'll fall in love with these three people like I have. The novel is set in Dallas, Texas and tackles some difficult issues, but it's also filled with humor and love.

IMPERFECT TIMING--Ready to dive into some romance littered with life's complications? Take a look at Imperfect Timing, a mature romance about second chances, bad husbands, confused daughters, and the headaches of the real estate business.

LUCK, LOVE, AND A LIFELINE--If you’re ready for adventure and romance, try this novel. It features a recently graduated fashion designer’s struggles with her career and dismal love life, while winding her way through the design district of NYC to the Caribbean islands. There are a lot of headwinds along the way and this one might blow you away.

I'd love to hear your feedback and welcome your honest reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.

A little about me:

I'm a Texas girl: Grew up in San Antonio, went to school at UT in Austin and earned my degree in Journalism. I eventually settled in Dallas where I raised a husband, a few cats, and two kids. My husband, kids, and the cats will probably disagree on who raised who, but I'm always a sucker for a robust discussion. For years I was involved in retail management, but I have untangled myself from the world of clothing and shoes and immersed myself in my true passion--writing fiction and taking deep dives into the lives of my characters.

When you can pry my fingers off the keyboard, I've been known to imbibe in a few glasses of wine and have been spotted forking into decadent desserts while gathering with friends and family. Put me on a shady deck or an umbrella-covered patio, with a table full of opinionated know-it-alls, a spicy margarita, and I'm in my happy place. I've also been known to jump at the opportunity of taking unexpected trips, and over the last few years I've been spending summers on the Aegean coast of Turkey.

But I always make time for writing and reading, with a stack of novels ready and waiting on my nightstand, and a few sleeping patiently on my Kindle. I bounce around genres, and I'm usually up for a good recommendation. So, let me know what you've enjoyed reading lately. I can be reached via Messenger on FB or on my FB author page--Bobbie Candas. I look forward to hearing from you!
