Tracy Baines

Hello, welcome to my Amazon Author Page.

Tracy Baines writes about friendship, family, and finding your inner strength when life gets tough. Her stories celebrate strong women and the importance of community spirit. Tracy’s bestselling historical sagas are inspired by her love of the seaside and its contrast with the gritty industrial fishing ports on the east coast of England where she was born.

When she was eight, Tracy’s parents took over the management of the Pier Hotel which was directly opposite the entrance to Cleethorpes pier. One of the rooms had been closed up, and her father reopened it as a music venue.

So began her love of live entertainment, which influenced the Seaside Girls series.

Her grandmother’s stories and her own family heritage are the inspiration behind the Fishers Wharf series, recently rebranded as The Dockyard Girls, which follows the Hardy and the Evans families and the friendship that grows between two women from opposite sides of the class divide.

Tracy lives in Dorset with her husband, and dogs Harry and Betsy. Her children and grandchildren live close enough for babysitting duties. When she’s not writing Tracy is either gardening, rummaging in antique shops or finding a host of other lovely ways to procrastinate. Coffee and cake are usually involved.

Her debut novel The Variety Girls (AKA The Seaside Girls) was shortlisted for the RNA Saga Award 2020.
