M. Lea and Tracie Rae are two author voices sharing one passion for storytelling.
M. Lea writes emotionally layered romance and fiction, while Tracie Rae focuses on psychological suspense and mystery, creating stories filled with complex characters, secrets, and unexpected twists.
With six published books and more stories in the works, I am passionate about connecting readers with compelling independent fiction. My books include Beyond the Edge of Lies and Unrelenting Past under M. Lea, and The Woman Left Unburied under Tracie Rae.
I am currently seeking opportunities to partner with independent bookstores and booksellers who value local and independent authors. I would love to introduce my books to your readers through author signings, local events, consignment opportunities, featured indie-author promotions, and other creative partnerships.
My love of books began decades ago and eventually led me to begin writing at 18. What started as a personal passion has grown into a lifelong commitment to storytelling and becoming a published independent author.
As my writing developed, I discovered that some stories belonged in different worlds. M. Lea became the voice for emotionally driven romance and fiction, while Tracie Rae emerged as the voice for darker stories of psychological suspense and mystery. Having two author names allows me to give each genre its own identity while continuing to tell the stories I am passionate about.
Today, I am focused not only on writing and publishing, but also on building relationships with readers, authors, and independent bookstores. I believe independent authors and bookstores have an incredible opportunity to support one another, introduce readers to new voices, and create a stronger local literary community.
