Hi Jennifer!

Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed Anna and T.J.'s story. I hope you also enjoy the companion novella, Uncharted.

Covet will be available in e-book format in the UK on September 17th. The paperback will be released in June 2014.

All my best!

Hi Tracey!
On the Island is such a fantastic book, I read it ridiculously quickly because I loved it so much. I can't wait to read the sequel.
You are a great author and I love the way you write.
I was just wondering, when will I be able to buy the book of Covet here in the UK? I can't wait to read that either!

Thank you for accepting. Love on the island x

Hey Tracey,

First of all, thanks for the add. Second of all, I wanted to say that I received your book 'On the Island' for review and it was such a pleasure to read. It's an interesting take on the island theme and I really came to like Anna and T.J. Best of luck with your next release and keep on writing!

Hi Diane,

Well, I love the desert island premise and when I watched the movie Castaway I felt bad for Tom Hanks. The only thing he had to bond with was a volleyball. I knew if I wrote a desert island book I'd want to put two people on the island. The more I thought about it, the more I knew it would have to be two people who shouldn't be together (to make it more interesting).

I've never been stranded on an island (I'm not even much of a camper, to be honest). But once I started writing the book my imagination really let loose. Anna and T.J.'s love story evolved as slowly in my mind as it did on the island.

All my best,

Tracey

Hi Tracey! I’ve been really hooked in reading on the island. However, I just want to ask you a few questions that keep barging me.

How did you come up with that very good story? I mean did you ever imagined yourself being trapped on secluded island with some hot guy? Or did you experienced being on secluded island alone?

‘Coz after reading this book, I felt being trapped in that island too. I always wondering if someday I’ll experience it, can I also survive?

Thanks Tracey! More powers in writing!

Hi Tracey thanks so much for the add. I'm sure you are so tired of hearing this but i just have to say it. I LOVE ON THE ISLAND!! What a phenomenal story about surviving and falling in love. Can't wait to read more of your books.

Thanks for adding as a friend! I am your new biggest fan (I am sure you have a lot of those!). Hope you can make it up to Canada one of these days for a book signing! I don't buy many printed copies of books anymore, but I'd buy yours!

I have to tell you that I've been keeping an eye out for your paperback book everywhere! I've seen it at Target and Sam's Club today! Congratulations.

I Loved your book On The Island. I stayed up till 5 a.m. to finish it. Such a touching story about survival and love. I Can't wait to read Covet. Thank you for sharing your words.

Love your new picture! Gorgeous!!

Thank you, Dominique! I just had my photo taken and this is the same one that will be on the back cover of my paperback. The photographer is very talented, I think!

Beautiful profile pix Tracey! :)

Thanks for the friends request Tracey!

Congratulations! On the Island is #5 on Amazon! WoooHooo! I'm so glad so many are reading your amazing story!

Hi Tracey,

You don't know how psyched I was to see a story that takes place in the Maldives.
And yeah, I was around even in 2011. You should have looked me up ;)
Have you visited the Maldives? You have managed to describe things so well. I was quite pleased in fact! :)

And the story. I couldn't have asked for more! Loved it.

Brittany,

"Movie vater" cracked me up! My kids want to see Chipwrecked so I'll have to take them soon (I do love a good desert island movie, you know). If you're ever bored you should google the Maldives. The images are beautiful (my book cover is an actual island in the Maldives). It's all white sand and blue water there. I am glad you think the book will stay with you. That makes me smile!

Tracey,

I thought of you and your book today at a completely irrational time... while at the "movie vater" as my 4yr old calls it watching Chipwrecked! Of course... it had nothing in common but it gave me some visuals at the same time of the way that the island may have looked. I have a feeling that this is one of those books that will pop up randomly and stay with me for a long time~

Hey Tracey , thank you for adding me up ! Nice to meet you :) ... I just finished reading and reviewing your book ,and i must say i really really really loved it !! Consider me your biggest fans from now on <3
