Tracy Lawson’s passion for storytelling led her first into the world of dance and educational theater, and enjoyed a career as a dance teacher, studio owner, and choreographer that has spanned nearly three decades. A mid-life career change has yielded nine books–two historical novels, a four-volume series of thrillers for young adults, two nonfiction history books based on the lives of her pioneer ancestors, and a memoir. TWhile her body of work may seem varied, the common thread that connects all her books is her characters’ pursuit of individual liberty.

 Tracy, who is married with one grown daughter and two spoiled cats, splits her time between Dallas, Texas and Columbus, Ohio.
