Bunyip's Last Wish by Candice Graham

In 2013, Candice Graham was studying her Masters in Clinical Neuropsychology when she won the Scarlett Stiletto Award. Just one year prior, she won the Catherine Leppert Best Environmental Theme Award with her first ever Scarlet Stiletto entry. Candice reportedly remembers thinking at that time (surrounded by such talented ladies) that first prize was probably out of her reach. Above all else, Candice believes the Scarlet Stiletto Awards teach us what we’re capable of – both in writing and murderous intent! Candice set out to create something memorable and unique with her winning entry, “The Bunyip’s Last Wish”. She hopes that everyone enjoys this story, which was itself a joy to create. Since then, Candice has spent many rewarding years working as a psychologist, primarily with children and young adults. Candice and her husband share two wonderful young children of their own. Candice reports that their lives have pivoted in unexpected directions over the past year, impacted by storm damage, moving house, and winning some battles to become financially stable. Sadly, Candice has stepped back from her work as a psychologist due to severe pain from endometriosis. She believes the time feels right, however, to start writing the multitude of novels brimming in her mind…
