Writer
Kandace also writes fiction and non-fiction, often while hiding from her children. She has written two books, one fiction (her first and worst, never to see the light of day), and the other semi-fiction (where she wishes much of it wasn't true) titled Momma Ain't Happy. This is a book about love and revenge for - and by - mothers. Kandace is writing her third book called The Monday Night Bike Club about the trials and trails of three women who ride for the laughter and the therapy.
