About the author
Tracy Tandy
6 books2 followersA native San Franciscan, I grew up in the Haight-Ashbury when music, poetry and revolution seemed the perfect answer to every question. I was twelve when Mom said, “You should be a writer, but we can’t afford that, so go become something useful.”
At University of California, Santa Cruz, I divided my time between classes, working the circulation desk of Dean McHenry Library, and singing in Promised Land, an R&B and Grateful Dead cover band. And yes, I did get a degree – in Humanistic Psychology.
Much later, in the wake of several bands and multiple jobs ranging from unusual to demanding, I met my beloved Mark. He remains my luckiest life moment.
As a producer for Broderbund Software, I managed production of software products, including Print Shop and the Amazing Writing Machine; wrote my first tech manuals and product demo scripts; I also recorded the Singing Roses in Grandma and Me, and the Doo Wop Cookies in Arthur’s Teacher Trouble, (available from Wanderful Interactive Storybooks).
Eventually, I went freelance, providing content for clients including Disney, Deloitte and Touche, and Marin County. My work as a freelance writer includes ghostwriting, speechwriting, biographies and tech manuals. I launched my own imprint, Inevitable Ink Publishing in 2015, and we've released three books to date: Dreamhaven, the Alphabet Dreams picture book, and The Alphabet Dreams Coloring Book. I’m currently writing Book II of the Dreamhaven series and working on a new picture book.
Seven years on, my writing group is an incomparable weekly gift, and my collaboration with artist/illustrator, Lucy Arnold, a constant pleasure. I continue to salsa dance and sing original tunes and jazz. Life and people remain endlessly surprising – and, no, my degree in Humanistic Psychology was not what my mother meant by “useful.”

What a wonderful tale! I found myself looking at my two cats different the whole time I read it! They are my friends and I realize now just how special our bonds are! This is a book that is adventurous and interesting and full of friendships and caring. I can’t wait to share it with my niece.

I “previewed” this book before reading it with my 7 year old and I ended up just loving it. I got lost in this book, fell in love with the characters and just couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait to read the next book “Dreamhaven 2: Moonwitch of Crushtide Island”!

A beautiful, lyrical story about friendship, dreams, and finding and believing in your true self. I loved the characters (dreamers will really enjoy Mark's adventures with Shift), the setting and the magical quality of both the story and the storytelling.
