Author of The Month - March 2010

Tracy A. Ball

grew up in the inner city of Baltimore, MD.  Just out of high school, she became a military spouse, living in Texas, Georgia and West Germany where she gave birth to an amazing daughter who is her inspiration for living.

She returned to Maryland, a single mom, met the love of her life- a true hero and became a devout Christian. In 1997 she and her family relocated to the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. Here, her family encouraged her passion for writing. She was able to attend Shepherd University and hone her craft.

Tracy has written a number of stories and essays. Her writings have appeared in Shepherd’s Heart and CEC Home.

Civil Warriors, her debut novel, was a semi-finalist for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award and is currently being considered for the Michael Shaara Prize for Civil War Fiction.
