Tracie Howard (Author)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Creating suspense-filled romance novels centered around upscale urban lifestyle has helped Tracie Howard re-define the boundaries of African American fiction.
A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Tracie climbed the corporate ladder at Xerox, Johnson and Johnson and American Express before persuading future co-author, Danita Carter, to follow through on the development of an outline for Revenge Is Best Served Cold. The subsequent deal with Penguin Putnam led to several genre-breaking novels including Talk Of The Town and Success Is The Best Revenge. Tracie was a featured author in Turner Broadcasting's 2003 Trumpet Awards.
Her first solo novel, Why Sleeping Dogs Lie, was published in 2003. The follow-up, Never Kiss and Tell, was widely received and led to a lucrative deal with Random House. Golddiggers, the initial work from this new partnership, will be released in Spring 2007.
In addition to her career as a successful author, Tracie is curator and co-founder of the wearable art company, Ethos. Their recently announced collaboration with the trendsetting lifestyle driver, Nikki Beach, raised the bar for African American owned and operated fashion companies.
