Tracey Livesay is a bestselling romance fiction author, who is best known for her Emma award-winning novel "Love Will Always Remember." Prior to her successful writing career, Livesay attended the School of Law at the University of Virginia. After graduation, she began working as a criminal defense attorney.
Livesay's books are known for their strong and successful heroines who find love with powerful and passionate heroes. Her latest release, "THE DUCHESS EFFECT," is the sequel to last summer's "American Royalty," which has been praised by critics and readers alike. The novel evokes the real-life romance between Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle, with a unique twist. Entertainment Weekly called "American Royalty" one of the "crowning achievements of the summer," while The Washington Post hinted that it felt like a real-life royal romance, "but steamier." Oprah Daily praised the book as "sexy, resonant, and real." In 2021, Livesay won the Emma Award for Best Interracial Romance for "Like Lovers Do," which was also named one of the 100 Best Fiction Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews.
Livesay is not only a talented writer but also a former criminal defense attorney. She currently resides in Virginia with her husband, who she met on the very first day of law school. They are eagerly counting down the days until they have an empty nest, much to the amusement of their three children who are aware of their parents' plans.
