Features Shari Lapena by Tracey Devlyn (VIDEO)

USA Today bestselling author Tracey Devlyn wanted to be the next Dian Fossey and explore the wilds of Africa, but that was before she met chemistry and calculus. With an enthusiasm for research that translates into creative (and disturbing) plot twists for her characters to navigate, it’s no surprise that her suspense-laden stories excite her readers and offer a glimpse of the nefarious nature lurking behind her smile. Despite the thrilling, emotional ride she gives her readers, Tracey enjoys a laid back, fleece and boots lifestyle with her husband and rescue dogs at her home in the mountains of North Carolina.
