Candace Segar grew up in New Orleans and at the age of six months went to her first Mardi Gras.  By five, she was a seasoned veteran and could catch beads and doubloons with the best of them. She knew her way around the French Quarter but was always partial to the Café du Monde. After graduating twice from the University of New Orleans because she couldn’t figure out if she wanted to write or test motors, she opted for the power industry. It readily paid the bills. Apparently though, her passion and heart were submerged in writing.
