Tracy Ewens

Every love tells a story.

Tracy Ewens is a recovered theatre major who writes contemporary romance.

When not working on her next book, she drinks copious amounts of tea, prefers an exit row seat, and reads well past her bedtime.

What Readers are Saying…

  • "It’s light without being fluffy, the romance realistic, the friendships meaningful, and the characters easy to connect with. I always recommend Tracy Ewens’ novels, but this one might be my personal favorite."
    Carlene
    Carlene (Tap)
  • “Tracy Ewens writing proved to be what I crave from my romance books. Angst and conflict coupled with a character driven plot guided by charming, unassuming characters and terrific writing.”
    TeriLyn
    TeriLyn (Playbook)
  • “No characters have felt more real to me than these two. Sure there is the snappy dialog, wry and witty humor, but underneath it all is a love so deep and thorough that you can’t help but let your heart and emotions be touched in a way that lasts long after the story ends.”
    Becky
    Becky (Exposure)
  • When it comes to the story itself, I loved the author’s voice. Her way with words, especially the inner dialogue of the characters, it was a really engrossing and comfortable read. It was funny, sad, happy and angsty at times but each character shined through as his/her own person and moved the story along as just the right pacing.
    Wishful Miss
    Wishful Miss (Brew)
  • "Another great and witty book from Tracy Ewens, this time focussing on Patrick McNaughton and the brewery’s wonder woman Aspen. Great connection between the characters and you really get drawn in to the story."

Jack vibing with the witches! I love spooky season. Not bloody or scare the crap out of me, just spooky and witchy. ⁣ ⁣ And pumpkins, 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 🎃, and candy corn. Fine, I love October and all the festivities. ⁣ ⁣ When my kids were younger, their costumes were epic. Each of them, at some point in high school, had to break it to me that they were no longer dressing up for Halloween. ⁣ ⁣ Jack loves Halloween. Or maybe he's just grateful I don't dress him up too. 😉⁣ ⁣ In my mind, when I’m old and wear red lipstick, I’ll throw a big masquerade party every year. Not sure why I need to be old, but that’s the dream. ⁣ ⁣ Do you enjoy Halloween? Favorite candy? Favorite movie? ⁣ ⁣ #halloween #spookyseason #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #amreading #amreadingromance #amwriting

I have tried keeping only electronic inspiration, but there’s something about the printing and pinning that helps me create a story. ⁣Sorry, 🌳. I keep all the pictures if that helps. 😕 ⁣ It’s not always a picture. Sometimes it’s texture (Sistine), food (Logan), or colors (Drake). Physically, characters are usually a mixture of multiple people, but in this one, she’s pretty spot on Carey Mulligan. That’s rare. ⁣ ⁣ Although Grady (CANDIDATE) was always Chris Pine, so maybe it’s been that easy a few times. 😉⁣ ⁣ Any guesses whose story is on board next? Hint: The title is STAY - A LOVE STORY. ⁣ ⁣ #amwriting #amwritingromance #writinginspiration #inspoboard #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #amreadingromance #wip

First ever loaf of 🍞! ⁣ I’m always a bit behind the curve. My quarantine baking urge has finally kicked in.⁣ ⁣ This little golden brown attempt was a white tin loaf (think 80s sandwich bread). It looked pretty, thumped hollow but was a tad underbaked. Back to the board until I get it right. ⁣ ⁣ Damn, it is much easier to write about a baker. 🤪⁣ ⁣ #starbakerintraining #bread #bakingmyfeelings #firstloaf #ishouldbewriting #writerslife #writersofinstagram #bake #amreading

“Your enthusiasm for my person is both comprehensive and much appreciated.” 😂⁣ ⁣ Loved this one and all the others before it in the Veronica Speedwell series.⁣ ⁣ These are fun mysteries with one hell of a romance. A couple who slow burn for multiple books is my kind of couple. ⁣ ⁣ Deanna Raybourn’s words are a gift. Her characters, my friends, and every story is a refuge from reality. ❤️ #bestreads #amreading #veronicaspeedwell #deannaraybourn #booklover #booknerd #bookrecommendations #bookreader #lovedthis

Dialogue is my favorite. I could write it all day. It's the rest of the writing business that's tough like... plot. 😂 ⁣ ⁣ But put two people in a room, sit their asses down with a cup of coffee or tea, and I am in my happy place. ⁣ ⁣ So much is revealed in what a character says or doesn't say. Much like life, I suppose. ⁣ ⁣ Jules from CATCH made me laugh and cry nearly every day while I wrote her kicking and screaming into her own Love Story. ⁣ ⁣ She's not an easy character. Also, much like life.⁣ ❤️ ⁣ #catchalovestory #newreleasebooks #amreadingromance #amreading #tracyewens #booksaboutlove #bookstagram #romancebooks #dialogue

These books looked so lovely together when I unpacked that I’ve left them just as they are on my shelf. ⁣💛💙💜♥️ ⁣ I have this practice of reading books on my Kindle first and then buying the ones I love for my shelves. These are all fantastic stories. ⁣ ⁣ Fun fact: In my book CATCH, Jules reads TAKE A HINT, DANI BROWN at the suggestion of Millie and Auntie N. Dani’s strength and passion give Jules a new perspective and power, as they did for me when I read it during a challenging time. ⁣ ⁣ Books are brilliant that way. The gorgeous colors are a bonus. ⁣🥰 ⁣ #amreading #amreadingromance #booknerd #prettybooks #prettybookcover #bookshelf #romancebooks #thursdayvibes #reading #writersofinstagram #takeahintdanibrown #bookstack

This is one of my favorite pictures- me, Michael, and our son in Kanazawa, Japan. It was a funny night, and I was in such a great mood. ⁣ ⁣ I'm a notoriously bad picture taker. Seriously someone pulls out a phone, and I lose my mind. ⁣ ⁣ But, I am me in this picture. Happy and unfiltered me. ⁣ ⁣ Four months after this trip, I found out I had cancer. I keep this picture in my office even though it is bittersweet.

This photo was on my vision board while I was writing Brew. Granted, Boyd isn’t quite that grey and Mason is older, but for me this image captured the ease of their relationship. I am revisiting all things Brew lately since I just finished listening to the new audiobook (thank you, #sebastianyork), which will be available everywhere in the coming weeks. When I know I’m going to love a book or any new release by my favorite authors, I will get the audiobook and the ebook at the same time so I don’t have to stop the story when Jack needs a walk.

Bodega Bay is named after Don Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra even though he discovered modern day Tomales Bay instead. History is quirky that way. The word “bodega” means store room or wine cellar. Bodega y Quadra most likely had ancestors who worked with or owned goods and wine.
