In today’s episode, Candace Kade stops by the studio to talk about her debut novel Enhanced, a YA with a futuristic take on the traditional dystopian-eques plot.
Candace is a recovering over-achiever who spends her time dreaming up stories typically involving tech, psychology, culture, and/or swords. Candace Kade is a certified Krav Maga assistant instructor and loves writing action-packed martial art scenes. A third culture kid, she considers Chengdu and Austin to be her homes.
Listen in as we chat about how the first book in the Hybrid series came to be, how her Krav Maga training has helped her in writing action scenes, how a mugging gave her inspiration, and why family and belonging are themes throughout the book and close to her heart.
Enjoy!
