Welcome to the first Annual Smile Somebody Loves You New Years Eve Blog Hop!
This is our first time hosting a blog hop and we are so thrilled with the participation! We started SSLY in 2013, so what better way to kick off the New Year then with a new adventure! We have almost 50 participating blogs, some giving away some awesome prizes. Please visit everyone and meet these wonderful women and men. They are terrific and you may find a new "favorite" author among them!
At the cusp of the New Year, most people often
make resolutions and wish for things like world peace, lots of money, health,
or new love interest. Let’s face it. While men, oozing with testosterone run
the world, you can forget about world peace. And, unless you marry a wealthy
guy or find the Fountain of Youth, those things are as attainable as a ride to
Jupiter.
However, having said all that, because I’m a writer, I see things differently.
Tucked neatly in the recesses of my mind is the proverbial “what if?” question.
When it’s activated, all possibilities are unleashed. That’s when I enter into
Candyland. In Candyland, I create characters who can become rich or find an
everlasting love. The kind of world they live in depends upon me. I can give
them everything I dream about, but cannot obtain myself. Sometimes the line
separating fact from fiction can get obscured. In anger, I once told my husband
I wished he could be more like Peter, my hero in Autumn Leaves, a book I’d
written under my other pen name, Candace Gold. His reply was: “So rewrite me.”
If only it were that easy.
The world can use a little rewriting, if you ask me. World peace has a nice
ring to it, doesn’t it?
Seriously, though, I want to thank all my readers for their support and
promised to give them the best my feverish mind can churn out for 2014. I wish
everyone a safe and healthy New Year.
And one lucky person will get a trade copy of Candy Caine's, THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CARLA MILLHOUSE and one will get an ebook copy of Candy's latest, BECAUSE OF YOU just for stopping by and leaving a
comment...what you want for 2014.

happy new year
Love meeting new authors and can't wait to read your books! I would love to rewrite some things in my life too!
Kim, I love to meet new readers. Their feedback is so important to me. I love when people leave reviews on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. It enables me to give my readers more of what they want.
And if you have the desire to write, you should. Then when you're published, I can read your books. By the way, I also write under the name, Candace Gold.
Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Same to you Deb, from your favorite SNA.
Happy New Year and thanks for the hop and giveaway. Koala571 (at) msn (dot) com

I want 2014 to be substantially better than 2013. I'm hoping that's not too much to ask. michelle_willms(at)yahoo(d0t)com
Don't we all. Thanks, for stopping by. I appreciate it. I would like to send you one of my stories. Let me know if you have a Kindle, iPad, Nook or some kind of MP3 device.
Wishing you all the best for 2014, Candy! Great post!
Thanks, Steph. I liked yours, too.
Forgot to comment, my bad.
