Candace Calvert is a renowned American author, best known for her "medical hope opera" books. She has written several successful series, including the Crisis Team series, the Mercy Hospital series, and the Grace Medical series. These books offer readers a glimpse into the world of emergency medicine and are filled with charismatic characters, romance, and action.
Born and raised in Northern California, Calvert spent a few years in Texas before returning to her home state. In addition to being a successful author, she is also a former nurse, a loving wife, a mother, and a grandmother. Calvert believes that laughter, faith, and love are the best cure for every patient, and her books reflect these values. They are known for their pulse-pounding drama, humor, romance, and suspense.
Calvert's love for writing can be traced back to her childhood, but it was her career as a nurse that provided her with the inspiration and material for her books. After an equestrian accident that broke her neck, Calvert found herself on the other side of the stethoscope. It was during this time that she discovered the healing power of love, laughter, and faith, which she incorporates into her books.
Calvert's books have been compared to popular television shows like "Grey's Anatomy," but with a twist. Her stories offer a prescription for hope, and her characters are known for their charisma, humor, and strength. When she's not writing, Calvert enjoys gardening, cooking, bird watching, and listening to karaoke. She is also passionate about food and often shares photo-embellished recipes and funny insights into the writing life with her followers on Twitter and Facebook.
