Author's Bio
Tracy L. Ranson has always had a dream to
write books, as well as give enjoyment to others. Her love of
writing stemmed from a love of history instilled to her by her
father. Instead of reading normal children's books to her and
her siblings as children, he would always have a history book
ready to read. As Tracy grew older, she would read them and
really lose herself in the past, especially the medieval period.
Tracy loves the Vikings so much, she married one! Her husband is
of Norwegian descent and looks typical of what a Viking would
look like with the tall height, deep muscle build, and high
cheekbones. She is trying desperately to get him to pose for
covers, but he still resists.
Tracy started out with a degree in Engineering and worked
in the field for seven years before she realized what her first
true love was—romance writing. Since 1997, she's written eleven
books with quite a bit more coming! She lives in the Midwest
with her husband John, three cats, and two dogs. Each of them,
in their own way, inspire her writing.
Author's Profile
Q: What inspires you to write?
A: Everything inspires me to write. The feeling
of being alive is what prompts me to pour my feelings and
thoughts into a book.
Q: Where do you come up with your stories?
A: Sometimes, I come up with the title first or
perhaps a bit of the plot then I construct the entire story
around that particular tidbit. It's a process that takes time.
Q: What was your favorite novel to write
and why?
A: I will have to say Pirates of the Mist
was my favorite. I got the idea many years ago after seeing the
movie, The Fog. I swore to myself then (keep in mind, I
was about ten years old) that if I ever got good enough to write
a book, I'd use this plot. So I did.
Q: What is a typical day like for you?
A: My day typically starts at around 6a.m. I get
myself ready and take care of all the pets. Then, it's off to my
dreaded day job. When I get home, I try to fix a bit of dinner
then I settle down to writing.
Q: What are your favorite hobbies?
A: Knitting, painting, sewing, cross stitch,
needlepoint, crocheting, and just about anything else I can lay
my mitts on.
Q: How do you unwind and relax?
A: Knitting is my favorite passion right now.
After I get done writing, I'll sit and watch a bit of TV and
knit like an insane person.
