Author: Tracey Jane Jackson | Website
Tracey was born and raised in New Zealand, and that’s where her love of horses was formed. Her grandfather taught her to ride at four years old, and she couldn’t get enough.
Her love and passion for Abraham Lincoln and the entire Civil War era might have come from her American father, however, he lays no claim to influencing her. Tracey's mother used to tell her she was simply born in the wrong place in the wrong time.
Tracey hasn't always wanted to write. It took her a long time to get started, but now she doesn't seem to be able to stop, the joy of escaping to the 1860s is too much fun.
She's been happily married and gooey in love with her husband for sixteen years. They live in the Pacific Northwest with their two sons.
