About
TRACEY SHEARER
A New York transplant, Tracey Shearer now calls the Pacific Northwest her home—a land teeming with ghosts, writers, and coffee shops.
The loss of both her parents and her own battles with cancer continue to fuel her love of stories that explore how important our connections are to each other. And through her work as a mentor and coach, Tracey enjoys helping other writers realize their dreams.
Under the close supervision of her two rescue kitties, Cleo and Feta, Tracey is working on the next books in her trilogy. Book One of the series, Entwine, is available here.
