Family favorite recipes!

My friend, author Bibiana Krall, invited me to contribute to Sensational Writers: Holiday Recipes and it just came out on Monday.

Such a fun project. The e-book is available now for free.

New Short Story *PUBLISHED*

It is with humble gratitude that I announce here that my latest short story, "Skate Park" was selected for publication on the Prometheus Dreaming Literary Journal website. You can read it here HERE. (Scroll down until you see a skateboard)

The story was inspired by an exercise I did in a class with Charlotte novelist, Sarah Creech. Later, Sarah encouraged me to finish the piece and send it out. I want to say a special thank you to Sarah and the good folks over at the Charlotte Writer's Club for hosting her class.

As always, I owe a debt of gratitude to my wife and first reader, Holly Spruck.

Read my 5-star review for TIDES of LOVE

Tides Of Love by Tracy Sumner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A genre gem

History, South Carolina coast, an engaging protagonist, and a long simmering love. A great read. More than just a romance novel, this book is a genre gem in historical romance. If you ask me, it flirts with literary fiction. It's that good.
