Tracey L. Thompson

Tracey L. Thompson was born and raised in southern California and now resides in northern Virginia. She is a wife and the mother of five children.

After overcoming domestic violence, divorce, single motherhood and low self-esteem, she went on to earn a master’s degree in psychology with a specialization in marriage & family therapy from Chapman University, and now has written a novel that sheds light on the issue of weight discrimination in a fun and fanciful way.

Fatropolis is the alternative history, paranormal romantic adventure of a young fat woman with low self esteem who falls into another world where fat people lead happy, normal, guilt-free lives.

In the last twelve years Tracey has made a living at social work for hospice, working with at-risk youth and their families, training military families about aspects of resiliency, and now social work at the community level assisting needy families and the homeless. Her interests include spending time with her family, spiritual pursuits, playing Dungeons & Dragons, reading, writing, knitting, scrapbooking, movies, and music.
