Three sisters. Three vastly different lives. A maelstrom of family secrets.

Hello!

I’m pleased as punch to welcome you to my website where you can learn about what I’ve written, what I’m writing, and how I procrastinate between the two.

I’ve been a lifelong reader and committed to writing when I joined my community college newspaper and switched my major from sociology to journalism. I then made the switch from journalism to novels after my son was born. I gave myself three years to write a novel, get an agent, and sign a publishing contract. I made my deadline with just under a year to spare. I wrote four novels, and saw them published in four years before taking a long break from fiction to focus on real life responsibilities. After making some significant life changes, I’m writing again and am very glad to be exactly where I am.

I’d love to connect with you via Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Also, please subscribe to my monthly newsletter, where I’ll be sharing news about new books, the author life, events with yours truly, exclusive content, and a lot of other great stuff sent directly to your in-box.

Thanks for your support and for joining me on this adventure! Trust me, it’s going to be an exciting and bumpy ride. Ready?

XOXO,
Margo Candela
