About Tracey S. Phillips

Photo by Creative Look Studio
Tracey S. Phillips is the author of Best Kept Secrets published by Crooked Lane Books. The manuscript won a Hugh Holton award in 2018, and the unagented debut was released in 2019.
At her first Bouchercon, the dream of being a panelist was realized when she sat with other debut authors discussing Unusual Ways to Kill, in fiction, of course. In March 2020, she was a panelist at the first virtual Murder and Mayhem con.
Tracey didn’t always want to write. At Berklee College of Music she majored in music production and engineering, then owned a recording studio in Boulder Colorado. As a working-from-home mom, she fantasized for years about vacations alone with her computer. She teaches piano lessons and lives in Wisconsin with her husband and 2 small dogs who rule their lives.
Psychological Thriller is her love and female characters drive her stories. With its sociopathic characters and twists and turns, it gives a ride like no other.
Her debut novel BEST KEPT SECRETS is available now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Powell’s and many other retailers. If you are in the Madison WI area, please consider buying locally from A Room of One’s Own or Mystery to Me Books. Many thanks to Jenny Chen and Crooked Lane Books.
