About Tracy Blom

Tracy Blom grew up in Cincinnati Ohio and currently resides in New Port Richey, Florida with her husband and two rescue dogs.

As a young child, she started writing in a dream journal. She dreamt up entire stories, stapled them together, and created her first stories. Since those early years, every book she has written has arrived in a dream, including places, character names, and lessons to be shared.

Over the years she has come to accept the power of her dreams. She made the decision to sort through the piles of journals and bring her stories to life. To date, she has published thirteen books. Most carry a common theme — love who you are, be kind to others, and do what you can to help the world. All of her children’s books feature whimsical characters including fairies, spirit animals, children named after constellations, and Egyptian Pharaohs with magical cats.

Aside from her lighthearted children’s books, she also spent a year exploring her spirituality, which resulted in the publication of her first novel, ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Doors: my spiritual journey through dreams and denominations,’ which was published in October 2014. This novel shares her personal search to find a religion, after losing her mother to cancer, including the dreams that came to her before and during the process. For over a year, she documented the spiritual journey of self-transformation, as she explored a new denomination every weekend, in search of Universal Truth.
