Tracy L. Thompson writes poetry, short story, flash fiction, and memoir. Out Like a Lion is her debut novel. A native of Pennsylvania, today she lives and writes in Schenectady, NY. She is U.S. Navy veteran, and a graduate of the University of South Florida and Yale Law School. Her three adult sons have proven to be the greatest joy in her life, followed closely by her grandbabies (2 so far). Her dogs, Happy and Lucky, deserve honorable mention.
