Tracy Badua is a Filipino-American author of books full of humor, magic, and young people with sunny hearts in a sometimes stormy world. According to her grandmother, Tracy inherited this love of the written word from her great-grandfather, a school teacher in the Philippines. To Tracy, this means writing is in her blood, and she continues this family tradition by telling stories with her own spin in an accessible, heartfelt way. By day, she is an attorney who works in national housing policy and programs, and by night, she squeezes in writing, family time, pup pets, and bites of her secret stash of candy. School and work brought her from California to Washington, DC, and back, and she now lives in San Diego, California, with her husband, chatty toddler, and a photogenic Maltese. Tracy was awarded the Conference Choice Award at the 2017 San Diego State University Writers’ Conference. She also serves as an Article Editor for the California Real Property Journal and is actively involved in the Filipino American lawyer community. She is represented by Natalie Lakosil of the Bradford Literary Agency.
