Tracy Cooper-Posey is a 2024 Aurealis Award finalist for best SF Novella and the author of over 200 published titles that blend romance, suspense, science fiction, fantasy, and historical intrigue. She writes across multiple pen names—including Cameron Cooper (space opera) and Taylen Carver (fantasy, also an Aurealis finalist)—and has collected a long list of accolades, including the Emma Darcy Award, the SFR Galaxy Award, and fourth place in Hugh Howey’s SPSFC#2.
An indie juggernaut and genre chameleon, Tracy has been publishing since 1999 and running her own one-woman fiction empire since 2011. Her stories range from sweeping sagas to bite-sized thrillers, and she’s as comfortable writing tangled political intrigue as she is crafting a killer space opera saga. She’s a strategist at heart—an INTJ with a sword-sharp mind and a whiteboard full of fictional worlds. A former magazine editor and romance writing instructor, she now writes full-time in Edmonton, Canada, where she lives with her husband and creative partner, Mark Posey.
She runs on Irish Breakfast tea, dark chocolate, and a fierce love of genre fiction—from Frank Herbert and Mary Stewart to Murderbot, MacLean, and McCaffery.
