Tracy lives in South London close to her two grown-up sons. Tracy would often make up bedtime stories for her children, but it wasn't until they were both grown that she finally pursued her dream of becoming a picture book author.Joining SCBWI enabled Tracy to become part of a picture book critic group and provided her with plenty of opportunities to meet with like minded people. When Tracy is not writing, reading or buying picture books she can be found making novelty cakes or decorating in a shabby chic style.
