Traci earned a Master in Teaching Elementary Education from Western Governor’s University, a Bachelor of History from Portland State, and a certificate from Torchbearers Bible School in Holsby Brunn, Sweden. When not teaching at Hosanna, Traci writes cozy mysteries and teaches at writers conferences. Traci was a regular in children’s ministry for almost 30 years, serving in any position needed, from snack lady to children’s pastor. Now that her nest is empty, she and her husband indulge in their favorite activities like watching British TV, going to bed early, and sending silly memes to their kids.
