Tracey O'Hara grew up reading Stephen King, Raymond E. Feist, and J.R.R. Tolkien, where she developed her taste for adventure and the paranormal thriller. When she's not writing, reading, or working, she spends time with her husband, two sons, three cats and a cheeky Pug called Colin. Night's Cold Kiss, the first in her Harper Voyager Dark Brethren series, was shortlisted in the Best Horror Novel category at the 2009 Aurealis Awards, and won the Novel with Romantic Elements category at the Romance Writers of Australia awards the same year. Tracey came to writing erotic fiction on a dare and discovered that not only was it fun, but she had a bit of a knack for it. She has some short erotic romances with publishers, including Harlequin and Momentum. She is currently working on some new stories she hopes to publish very soon.
