My writing mentor, Beth Hill for her generosity, her amazing knowledge of writing rules (and how to break them) and for putting up with me for almost four years!
Louise Rhodes for believing in and tirelessly promoting me and my books. You are a truly phenomenal person and I am incredibly lucky to count you as a friend.
Incy Black & Lindsay J Pryor for their honesty, their friendship and giving up their precious time (especially during those ‘meltdown’ periods). It means more to me than I’ll ever be able to express, ladies.
Keeley Ewart-Smith & Claire Findlay, two extremely busy ladies who suffered through very early copies of Winning Ace, and managed to keep their sanity!
My wonderful Beta readers Michelle Nicholls, Vicki Steggell, Fiona Wilson, Maddy Cordell and Linda Green. Thank you so much for giving up your valuable time. It’s no mean feat to spend hours reading an unpolished novel, and then making the effort to send feedback. You guys rock!
The ladies in TNC: Loulou, Hughesey, Chelle (Eden’s Girl), Foxy, Jennings, Blondie, Kink, Titch, Nevie & Brandty. Thanks for the laughs and for keeping me sane. This journey wouldn’t be nearly as much fun without you all by my side.
My content editor, Jessica Anderegg and my line editor, Sarah Carleton from Red Adept Editing. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that Winning Ace is a much stronger novel thanks to your invaluable input.
Marissa Farrar who generously gave her time when I needed support navigating the complicated world of publishing. Thank you so much!
And finally to you, the readers. Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for reading Winning Ace. Cash and Tally will be back very soon in Losing Game. Hope to see you there!
About The Author
Tracie Delaney is the author of the Winning Ace trilogy. She loves nothing more than immersing herself in a good romance, although she sometimes, rather cheekily, makes her characters wait for their HEA.
When she isn’t writing or sitting around with her head stuck in a book, she can often be found watching The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones or any tennis match involving Roger Federer. Her greatest fear is running out of coffee.
Tracie studied accountancy, gaining her qualification in 2001. Her maths teacher would no doubt be stunned by this revelation considering Tracie could barely add two plus two at high school.
Tracie lives in the North West of England with her amazingly supportive husband. They both share a love of dogs, travel and wine.
Tracie loves to hear from readers. She can be contacted through the following platforms
