About Me:
There are few things more important in my writing career than telling a great story, a fun story, and sometimes one that inspires us to be a little better than we are. I hope in reading my books you gained comfort, laughs, or an escape from your every day life. Thank you for spending time with me and my characters as we try to fill pages with laughter, love, and a little adventure – even if it’s a bit over the top!

Official Bio:
After Nancy Drew was encased in a plaster statue to suffocate and die, Tricia Cerrone decided pursuing writing would be safer than sleuthing. Regardless, she still manages to find trouble when sticking her nose curiously into other people's lives, problems, and conversations - with the innocent intent of being helpful.

Today she writes adventure novels that celebrate friendship, family, and the importance of following your dreams, in the hope that her stories will inspire others to live their true values and create a better world.

Tricia Cerrone is a former Walt Disney Imagineering executive and a strong advocate and mentor for young people who seek to find their place in the world. She is currently working on The Black Swan Files—a young adult series about a teenage girl with superpowers who struggles to find her family and the home where she belongs. The series has been applauded for its emotion, humor, diverse characters in STEM fields, and making you want to turn the page.

Ms. Cerrone also writes Historical Romance (for new adults, young adults, and anyone who loves epic love!) under the pen name, Trish Albright. Siren’s Song and Siren’s Secret in the Keepers of the Legacy series have collected a number of awards. The Time Keeper, is a Christmas novella that captures all the action, romance, and snappy dialogue she is known for in her other historicals.

Regardless of what the time or location might be, Tricia’s stories are known for their love of family, loyal friendships, dauntless heroes, and of course…heroines who know how to fight for their dreams.

An escapee from the Los Angeles desert, Tricia now lives among the trees with her family and two dogs. Fortunately, Tricia loves dogs and trees along with whales, thunderstorms, and breathing fresh air - especially when she can enjoy any of the above with family and friends.
