Fran Tracey Hiding in the Dark

Fran Tracey is exactly the kind of writer that I want to encourage by publishing this series of online short stories.  She’s already had success in short story competitions elsewhere, and I know from previous experience that such a great track record can lead to a professional publishing contract.  Despite her previous success, Fran is very open to listening to constructive criticism of her work, and this makes her a delight for any editor to work with, and this is perhaps why she is so successful.  I am certain that Hiding in the Dark will chime with many readers, as unfortunately, I am sure that many of us have had to suffer one very bad teacher from our schooldays… Buy Hiding in the Dark from Lulu.com (50p)

Fran TraceyFran Tracey writes: “I love writing – especially about people.  For me, plots emerge from characters.  Creating characters and exploring their motives and actions fascinates me – and satisfies my innate nosiness, I guess.  I often include flashbacks in my stories – I enjoy exploring memory – how the past informs and influences the present, where the truth lies, if there is such a thing, and the unreliability of a point of view.  Oh, I like writing humour too, and just telling a tale.

 

I am a librarian by profession (lots of people-watching opportunities – all human life passes through libraries), and I have also worked as an adult education tutor.  Over the last few years I have been widely published – in women’s magazines both in the UK and internationally, and I have won several writing competitions.  I have also contributed to Accent Press’s Sexy Shorts for the Beach compilation in aid of Breast Cancer, and am a current contributor to their erotic imprint.

 

I love trying out different genres, and writing for a wide variety of audiences – I hope it keeps my writing fresh, and it’s a way of challenging myself.”
