Candy Abbott, an early Baby-Boomer, has stayed with traditional American values. A Christian author, speaker, and publisher, Candy's life motto is based on Gal. 5:22-23, the Fruit of the Spirit; she is known as a "Fruitbearer" because of her first book and the name of her publishing company. Candy and her husband Drew have been married since 1975 and have three children and four grandchildren. She is founder and director of Delmarva Christian Writers' Fellowship, a charter member of Southern Delaware Toastmasters, and elder and deacon in the Georgetown Presbyterian Church. She enjoys mentoring beginning writers and speakers and helping budding authors get their work in print. She relaxes by reading and playing with Buttercup, the Cocker Spaniel who monitors every move she makes in their home in Georgetown, Delaware.
