Tracy writes epic fantasy for teens through to adults. Her stories are gritty, a little dark and morality is like quicksand. You won’t find any unicorns or fairies here…

Although her stories include romantic elements, they are not romance driven novels. Do not buy these books if you’re after a fairytale….

Sounds crazy, but if you never pick up your pen or sit at your keyboard and just keep telling yourself that you don't know what to write then you'll never get anywhere. At times I will be at a loss about a direction to take with a scene or my characters or simply not sure if something is working. When this happens I just keep writing and trying different ideas. I wrote three versions of the beginning of my next book and didn't like any of them.
