About Unholy Night:

“Mom! Can’t you work in here???” bellows Candice Gilmer’s six-year old.

“No,” Candice replies, knowing that Tomas The Train will kill the ability to write anything even remotely sexy.

Not that she sits far away – a mere twenty feet away from the television and her daughter. Still, that twenty feet is evidently more than the child can handle. The two-month-old, however, has no problem with Mom in the other room, and is happily sucking on his fist.

“But Mom… I’m hungry…”

The two-month-old’s enjoyment of his hand evidently ends because he lets out a blood-curdling scream, demanding food.

And such is the daily life of one Candice Gilmer, Mommy and Writer. She does have a day job, well, an evening job, as a hairdresser, and has done that for over thirteen years. For most of her adult life, that was her creative outlet, though over time, it just wasn’t enough.

And writing was always in the back of her mind.

Even as a kid, she was telling stories, memorizing “Cinderella,” the voices Mommy used and all, and could recite it on demand at two.

Telling stories comes naturally to Candice, a genetic trait of the family.

If you don’t believe her, go to one of her family barbecues – everyone tells stories, from her grandfather, her uncles, her brother, to her mom. There’s no short, one liners from her family. Every story is a production, slightly exaggerated, and usually hysterical.

And if you’re not careful, you might get roped in and not be able to get out.
