She realized her exceptional ability to make plots and create characters in her mind ever since she was in the third grade. Tracy studied British History at the Stanford University. She resides in the San Francisco Bay Area with her daughter, Melanie, who is a great inspiration to her writing career. Tracy is a member of the board of the Merola Opera Program, a training program for professional opera singers, coaches, pianists and stage directors.

Tracy started writing during her teenage years and undergraduate years and with the help of her mother, Joan Grant she was able to write Regency romances. Their first publication was made in May 1988, and the novel was a Zebra Regency Romance by the name The Widow’s Gambit, this was under the pseudonym, Anthea Malcolm. Even after her mother passed on in 1995, she has continued writing the historical romance that is set up in the Regency period.

Tracy tried her luck by writing three historical romances, but the more she wrote, the more she learned that the traits of historical fiction and ancient mystery were intermarrying with her romance quests. While at Stanford University, Tracy received the Firestone Award for Excellence in Research for her honor thesis.
