The Writer

A brutal attack ends Frankie Moretti's love affair with New York City, so she trades subways and high-rises for grape vines and rugged Central California shorelines, and speech writing for fiction. The sleepy beach town is the perfect new beginning for Frankie until she spins the drama meant for her pages into real life and has a tumultuous affair with a married man. And when she finds herself in the center of a murder investigation, there's no turning back, no hitting the delete key.Amidst spoiled relationships, wine, loneliness, and a battle with PTSD, Frankie loses sight of what's real and what's not. In order to survive, she will have to navigate a dangerous situation and conquer her past trauma. But what if she can't? Will she succumb to impulsive behavior and poor decisions? After years of often challenging public service work, Tracy found writing fiction to be more cathartic than running at a mad pace on the treadmill in her garage or sipping red wine as she watched mind numbing television. And she discovered she loved writing fiction as much as reading it.Tracy lives in California with her husband, Russ, and two smallish dogs, Becky and Patty. Tracy is currently working on a domestic suspense about a Los Angeles woman, whose husband disappears on their honeymoon.
