Short Story:
Hi, my name is Tracy. I write for kids and am a former elementary teacher and librarian. I have always loved reading and am forever curious. I love to learn new things, travel, hike, quilt, stitch, craft and, of course, read & write.

Longer Version:
I started out as an early childhood and elementary teacher in Texas. I was blessed with three boys and the ability to stay home with them and become involved in their schools. When they were older, I went back to school and earned my Masters of Library Science. Again, I was blessed, this time with the wonderful task of opening a new school. I had the privilege of working with PreK through 5th grade students and teachers, and I loved every minute of it. I now continue my passion for books and children and have become a children's author.
