Traci Fixler

Traci Fixler spent her career in roles that don't leave much room for weakness — the U.S. Army, law enforcement, and corporate security among them. Those years shaped how she sees the world and how she writes about it: directly, without much patience for sentimentality, and always grounded in what actually happened rather than how it's supposed to look from the outside.

She continues to write about the things people carry quietly and rarely talk about out loud.
