Tracey Lee is a published author who has been writing since she was eight-years-old. The Lily O'Hara Mystery Series has been widely praised for its addictive storylines and its keen observation of family dynamics. A prolific writer, Tracey intends to continue this series and is publishing her new, independent novel, The Aphorism Club, in December 2025. Her book takes its title from the writing group which was founded by Tracey and a group of close friends in 1994. This group and the work they did together, including publishing an anthology in 1999, remain integral to Tracey's writing process. Tracey holds a highly distinguished, 38-year career as an English/Behavioural Science teacher who has taught in Tasmania, Western Australia, Canberra and most recently in New South Wales. In 2005, Tracey completed a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Canberra. Both her teaching and writing are interested in what motivates human behaviour and what maintains equilibrium, as well as the disturbances that threaten this balance. Her fiction often follows ordinary people as they face extraordinary circumstances. Since retiring from the classroom, Tracey has run several writing sessions at local libraries, joined the Eurobodalla Writers Group and hosted local panel discussions for International Women's Day and Crime Writers of the Eurobodalla. Living on the far south coast of NSW, she now spends most of her time writing in her.
