Tracy Cooper-Posey

A Little Marital Bragging (Okay, Maybe a Lot)

Mark takes a moment to brag — loudly and unapologetically — about Tracy’s incredible achievement: completing the thirteen-book Once and Future Hearts series and preparing its exclusive hardcover Kickstarter. From behind-the-scenes glimpses to outright spousal pride, this post celebrates the epic scope of the project and why the upcoming campaign is such a milestone.

Ningaloo: Deadly, Beautiful, and Still Real

In Ningaloo Nights, the stunning Australian outback isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a character all on its own: beautiful, remote, and deadly if you don’t know what you’re doing. When beta readers questioned whether I’d exaggerated the dangers, I had to assure them—every survival detail in the book is true. Growing up around Ningaloo taught me that nature doesn’t pull punches. But oh, the beauty is worth every ounce of caution.

The Big Kickoff

After thirteen books, too many late nights, and a kingdom’s worth of research, the Once and Future Hearts series is finally drawing to a close — and we’re going out with a bang. For the first time ever, we’re releasing a 13-book hardcover collector’s set, exclusive to Kickstarter. If you’ve loved this saga — or are just discovering it — this is your chance to own the entire series in a beautiful, keepsake edition… and get the final book, Camlann, six months ahead of the public release.

The Impossible Romance of Unrequited Love

In today’s world, where assertiveness is prized and self-expression is practically a life skill, the notion of someone being secretly in love and saying absolutely nothing about it feels… off. Unrealistic, even.

But for argument’s sake, let’s say such a person exists. Someone who loves another deeply, completely, without ever breathing a word.

Here’s the problem: how do you keep it secret?

Because real love, the kind that makes your pulse skitter and your heart do the stupid thing in your chest every time they walk into the room—that kind of love leaks.

It shows up in your eyes, your voice, your every bloody expression.

Celtic Women in Command? DNA Says They Called the Shots

Recent DNA studies out of Iron Age Britain show that some Celtic tribes may have been far more woman-centered than we thought. With women staying put and men marrying into their communities, this evidence of matrilocality opens new doors for romance fiction, historical reimaginings—and your favorite Celtic heroines.

Claddagh Rings and Older Symbols

The Claddagh ring may look simple — a heart, two hands, and a crown — but it carries centuries of meaning, folklore, and a touch of mystery. From pirate legends to Roman rings, here’s how one tiny piece of jewellery became a symbol of love, loyalty, and storytelling.

What’s on Tracy’s Desk? (2025 Edition)

Fourteen years ago, I shared a snapshot of my writing desk—and a surprising number of you still remember it! That desk is still with me, but the world around it has changed: the landline is gone, the monitors have multiplied, and only Strider remains of the original furry trio. This year, I revisited that 2011 post with a photo tour of my current workspace, the oddball trinkets that inspire me, and a glimpse into how I really write now—recliner and all. Spoiler: dusty fantasy author chaos is alive and well.
