Tracy Lee grew up in Launceston in Tasmania. After graduating from university with a degree in education she spent more than thirty years teaching English in Tasmania, Western Australia, Canberra and New South Wales.
Having been interested in writing from childhood, Lee and some similarly-minded friends established a writing group, The Aphorism Club, in 1994. The collaborative published an anthology of its members works in 1999, including three of Lee's short stories. She later went on to undertake a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Canberra, completing the degree in 2005.
In her website, Lee indicates that 'both her teaching and writing is influenced by an appreciation of what motivates human behaviour; what maintains equilibrium and how we cope with the disturbances that threaten that balance.' Her fiction, written for a predominantly adult audience, 'reflects on ordinary people responding to extraordinary events.'
In 2015 lee and her husband moved from Canberra to Malua Bay on the south coast of New South Wales where she intends to continue writing.
