About Tracey
Tracey L. Thompson is a female writer over fifty years old. She was born and raised in So. California and now resides in the Washington, D.C., area. In her younger years she worked as a roofer, a janitor, and as a military barber she once did ninety haircuts in one day! During her first marriage, she became fluent in Spanish and Mexican culture having lived in Mexico for a time. She overcame domestic violence, divorce, single motherhood and went on to earn a master's degree in psychology with a specialization in marriage & family therapy. Now she has a strong background in Social Work, having worked with victims of domestic violence, hospice patients, at-risk youth; has trained military families about resiliency; and now serves as a bilingual social worker at the county level assisting needy families and the homeless. She has learned to thrive with physical disabilities. She experimented with several religions and finally found her home with those who practice Shamanism. Due to all of these experiences, she is not afraid of the dark or to wade into the murky waters of grief and death. She writes stories that shed light on these dark topics and show the protagonists’ journey to healing.
Her debut novel Fatropolis was published in 2012, which she adapted to a dramatic feature screenplay and now a pilot. Her next dramatic screenplay, A GOOD MARINE placed in three different screenwriting competitions within one year (Finalist-Toronto International Screenwriting Competition; Finalist - Filmmakers International Screenwriting Awards; and was an Official Selection for the Military Script Showcase), which is now available as a novel.
