T.L. Hicks/ Mystic Rose, A.K.A. Tracie Lynn Hicks, was born in Taylorville, Illinois, in 1973, and is the youngest of eight children. She graduated in 1992 and married the love of her life on Halloween in 2004.
Tracie has PTSD, Social Anxiety, Chronic and Generalized Depression, and Maladaptive Daydreaming. She uses her mental conditions to develop her stories, revealing weaknesses, yet overcoming them.
Tracie is interested in the paranormal and created the Christian County Ghost Hunters Society. She investigated and researched the Christian County area of Illinois. Because of health issues, Tracie had to retire from investigating, but she still researches. She uses the information she finds to create realistic, Young Adult and Adult, horror, and supernatural stories. You can never tell between fact or fiction in her tales.
Tracie has always rearranged movies and television shows in her head. Why not build on that? She started her path of higher learning at the University of Phoenix in 2014. She finished at Southern New Hampshire University in 2020. The knowledge gained will help her get the movies and shows running in her head on paper.
For now, Tracie is a Content Creator, Editor, Trainer, and Team Captain at Coffee House Writers. She is working on her first novel, Hell’s Half Acre, and a book and the script, Tara’s Truth. Tracie is working on another story, Seven Gates of Hell.
