Hello, and welcome to my Amazon Author Page.

I’m Tracy Baines, and I write historical sagas about friendship, family, and finding your inner strength when life gets tough. My stories celebrate strong women and the power of community spirit. My writing comes from the contrast between two worlds I know well: the bright, breezy seaside and the gritty, hard-working fishing ports.

When I was eight, my parents took over the Pier Hotel, directly opposite Cleethorpes pier. Growing up around live entertainment inspired me, and that love of variety theatre, summer seasons, and pantomimes is the heart of my Seaside Girls series.

My debut, The Variety Girls (also published as The Seaside Girls), was shortlisted for the RNA Saga Award 2020.

My Dockyard Girls series comes from somewhere much closer to home: the stories my grandmother told me. Her father was a trawler skipper, as were her brothers and her son, and she spoke of the hardships and the tragedies that came with that life. Those stories have stayed with me, and I wanted to honour them. The books follow the Hardy and Evans families, and the friendship that grows between two women from opposite sides of the class divide.

I live in Dorset with my husband and Betsy, our cavapoo. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me gardening, rummaging in antique shops, or finding a host of other lovely ways to procrastinate. Coffee and cake are usually involved!

Happy reading!
