Autorenporträt
I've been an internationally published journalist and author for more than twenty-five years. I've had more than one hundred books published between traditional houses such as St. Martin's and Simon & Schuster and reference and educational publishers including Adams Media, Facts on File, and Mitchell-Lane. I have extensive experience authoring books across many genres-biographies and memoirs, technology and science, and histories-focusing on a wide range of topics. For the business minded ... As a ghost-writer, I have been commissioned to write numerous business-related books, working closely with the client to make sure the book expressed their voice and perspective. A disclaimer for Googlers: There happens to be two Kathleen Tracy's. I am NOT the one who writes about quilts, dolls, and other Americana crafts. I'm the one who writes everything else.
