Ask SD Tracy Harper On Wednesdays!

I've dusted off an old class assignment I'd written for a course in Creative Writing and have decided to publish it on the SD Tracy Harper Blog. It's a charming little Christmas story called The Plan. It is a semi-autobiographical account of one of my childhood Christmas. I'm releasing it on line December 24, 2014 in place of the usual Ask SD

Reality's Exit

First book from the Short Stories From the Heart Series. 2nd Edition is available on Amazon in the Kindle Bookstore.

Always Leave Them Wanting More

I Did It My Way  
     I’ve never made it a point to hide or shun the fact that I grew up in a little town near the Hudson River in New Jersey. You may even have heard of it from time to time on the TV or at the theater. Yes, I was born in Newark.
