C.A. (Candy) Simonson has always had a love for words. She started writing stories as a child and even won a contest for writing in the third grade. (See the story in Stories to Read: “The Budding of a Writer.”) Her first published piece was a poem in a national magazine at age 17. That was enough to get her hooked.

She is an award-winning author and writer of short stories, articles, and books. She is a frequent contributor to online publications and print magazines, now almost 400 pieces.

In 2013, her Christian fiction, Love’s Journey Home -The Search for Love, debuted. Two years later, the sequel, Love Looks Back – The Search for Siblings, came out and the following year, Love’s Amazing Grace -The Reunion. Her award-winning short stories and flash fiction have been published in nine anthologies.

When she is not writing, she is painting, quilting, or fishing in her backyard pond.
