Tracey Morait

I was born and brought up in Liverpool, England, and wanted to write books from an early age. I have self-published fiction books for children and young adults, covering a wide range of subjects from football (real football, that is!) to science fiction. My husband Keith Mitchell designs my book covers.

I have lived in Bristol for the last twenty years. Although I go out to work I spend most of my spare time writing. I also love my football and support Liverpool FC. YNWA!
