Tracy Darity was born, raised, and currently resides in St. Petersburg, Florida. She is the mother of three daughters, Morgan, Jasmin, and Shaunte. Tracy currently works in the benefits industry as a Relationship Manager but has long dreamed of becoming a published author.

As a child she had a creative imagination and a love for reading. In her early teens she began writing short stories as a hobby.

5 Reasons Indie Authors Should Revisit Their Earlier Works

There was a time not too long ago when the term self-published author was frowned upon by readers and the publishing industry. Vanity presses were seen as a scam because they preyed on the hopes and dreams of would-be writers. The notion was, individuals would never have a chance of signing with the six major publishers if they went this route.

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Baby, God ain't gonna bless you with another woman's husband, not today, not tomorrow, not ever.”
Tracy L. Darity, Love...Like Snow in Florida on a Hot Summer Day

“It must be an awful feeling to have love all around you and not feel loved, to be in need and unable to accept whats being offered, to see a world of possibilities but trapped inside your own mind.”
Tracy L. Darity

“Since the beginning of Humanities every era has had an elitist group that attempted to dictate what is and is not acceptable forms of art. As time has moved on, what is considered the “peasant” class or the lower echelons of society have overwhelmingly gone against the elitist point of view. Without that continuous evolution art would not be where it is today…enjoyed by the masses.”

“Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!”
Erick S. Gray

Alan Watts
