Tawdra and Olivia live over a thousand miles apart (in Florida and Texas, respectively). They found each other through the miracle of the internet and their love of writing and romance, but their abiding friendship and devotion to one another was built on something far greater and stronger. Their relationship was cemented by their shared journeys of FAITH.
Through the years, they've enjoyed and celebrated each others’ triumphs. They've cried and comforted each other through the pain of death and loss. They've shaken their fists together and commiserated over the hurt of betrayal. They've survived periods of angst and silence and have been brought back together by a bond that can only be explained as God’s blessing and grace.
In The Faith Book, Tawdra and Olivia share the stories of their journey to understand God’s movement in their lives. In each chapter, they explore the growth, learning and revelations they continue to experience as they strive to turn their eyes upwards.
Tawdra Kandle writes romance, in just about all its forms. She loves unlikely pairings, strong women, sexy guys, hot love scenes and just enough conflict to make it interesting. Her books include new adult and adult contemporary romance; under the pen name Tamara Kendall, she writes paranormal romance, and under the pen name Tessa Kent, she writes erotic romance. Tawdra lives in central Florida with her husband, two sweet pups and too many cats. Assorted grown children and a perfect granddaughter live nearby. And yeah, she rocks purple hair.
When Olivia Hardin started having movie-like dreams in her teens, she had no choice but to begin putting them to paper. Before long, the writing bug had bitten her, and she knew she wanted to be a published author. Several rejections plus a little bit of life later, she was temporarily "cured" of the urge to write. That is, until she met a group of talented and fabulous writers who gave her the direction and encouragement she needed to get lost in the words again.
Olivia has attended three different universities over the years and toyed with majors in Computer Technology, English, History and Geology. Then one day she heard the term "road scholar,"' and she knew that was what she wanted to be. Now she "studies" anything and everything just for the joy of learning. She's also an insatiable crafter who only completes about 1 out of 5 projects, a jogger who hates to run, and she's sometimes accused of being artistic.
A native Texas girl, Olivia lives in the beautiful Lone Star state with her husband, Danny and their puppy, Bonnie and Heidi.
