title: Moonlight and Shadows: Books 1 and 2
author:  Candice Gilmer 
description: Candice Gilmer leads a dangerous double life as a mommy and a writer. In between diaper changes and boo-boo healing, she writes stories usually to the tune of children's television shows.<br /><br />Growing up in the Midwest, Candice stays close to her family, especially the ones with basements for when the tornadoes come around. She also works as a hairdresser, which she's done for over fifteen years, and brings her laptop to work so she can write between clients.<br /><br />When she's not writing, styling hair and taking care of her family, she gets together with her girlfriends for gossip and coffee while her husband hunts ghosts with Wichita Paranormal Research Society.<br /><br />All in all, she stays very busy, but really, she wouldn't have it any other way.<br /><br />Well, maybe a little less children's television.<br /><br />This is book one and two in the Moonlight and Shadows series.
