She was the youngest of the 3 siblings born to Grady Camp and Lula Mae. As her mother used to work as a newspaper reporter, writing was natural in Candace. Even her father was a business manager, working in the Amarillo newspaper agency in Texas. When she was just 10 years old, Candace began writing her own stories. Since then, she used to pick up the pen and begin writing whatever came to her head in order to get relaxed or release the stresses from her life.
Candace went on to attend the Texas University situated in Austin, and later joined the West Texas State University. After completing her graduation, Candace began working as a teacher in the Eureka Springs located in Arkansas. Shortly after, she moved to North Carolina and took a job offer in the trust department of one of the banks there. At that time, Candace had a lot of interest in studying law and therefore, she left her job at the bank and enrolled herself at the North Carolina University situated in Chapel Hill, to begin her law school. In the meantime, she used to read several romance novels as a hobby. She was so much inspired by the characters and romantic set ups of those novels that she decided to write her own romance novel.

If she would have not taken the daring decision, she would have not become the popular novelists that she is today.
