My Interests

Tracy Mellor was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, an adopted only child who is living with a very serious form of Bipolar Disorder. For more about the author on a personal note, go to the Tracy The Celtic Diva site on MySpace for an in-depth look. She has been writing all her life, and this is her first published work of poetry. She currently resides in the Sacramento area.

Tracy's work can best be summed up as "striking, modern poetry with a visual flair...a fountain of feelings that makes you think!" But of course, she prefers the reader to draw their own conclusions.

I'd like to meet:

What people are saying about Tracy's poetry:

"Powerful..."

"realistic..."

"heartwrenching..."

"Tracy Mellor has courageously expressed her experiences as a woman living with a bipolar disorder in 'Walk Backwards In Your Mind.' Her poems are intelligent, visceral, gritty and very moving and she has proved herself to be a contemporary poet to reckon with!"

"Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Tracy Mellor is the author of Walk Backwards In Your Mind. This is her work of poetry that in my opinion is based on events throughout her life. Although I can not say that the book is based on her life for certain, only the author knows that one for sure.

Tracy has written a collection of poetry and compiled it all together in a short easy to read book. I enjoyed each poem and in some way I found a way to connect with almost every one of them. A few of my favorites were, Whisper, What's Best For You, and Its Not There. Ironically enough, those were most of the ones about love.

Tracy has a knack for spilling her feelings all across the pages. Even though these poems are not the rhyming kind, you feel closer to Ms. Mellor once you have turned the very last page. Its almost as though you've discovered a long lost friend. If you want to step into the life of the emerald eyed Celtic then get yourself a copy of Walk Backwards In Your Mind."
