Tracy Seeley is a nonfiction writer, professor at the University of San Francisco, and organic gardener. She grew up in Kansas and escaped at seventeen, only to be drawn back decades later to write about it. Her book MY RUBY SLIPPERS: THE ROAD BACK TO KANSAS tells the tale of her falling in love with the state she thought she'd left behind. A lyric exploration of place and displacement, geographical and otherwise.
Tracy lives in Oakland, California with her husband Frederick Marx, a filmmaker, and with three formerly feral--and not very cuddly--cats."
