About the author: Traci Hunter Abramson was born in Arizona, where she lived until moving to Venezuela for a study-abroad program. After graduating from Brigham Young University, she worked for the Central Intelligence Agency for several years, eventually resigning in order to raise her family. She credits the CIA with giving her a wealth of ideas as well as the skills needed to survive her children’s teenage years. She has gone on to write 25 bestselling novels and is a five-time Whitney Award winner, including 2017 Best Novel of the Year. Her recent novel, Proximity, was released in October 2018. A long-time Stafford resident, Traci is married with five children. She also coaches the North Stafford High School Swim team.
Reading is a joy, a wonderful adventure into a world traveled through words and imagination. As an author, I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet many people who share my occupation of diving into a fictional world and coming out the other side with a finished manuscript. We won’t talk about the blood, sweat, and tears that occur during the revising and editing process.
Several of my author friends made it onto my list of favorites, not only because they are talented writers, but also because I appreciate how much of their wit and humor is shared within the pages of their novels.
