Gregory D. Tracy Jr. is an independent author, husband, and father of six with a passion for creating dark, character-driven stories filled with history, violence, loyalty, loss, and unforgettable characters. He is the creator of the Wolfborn series, an epic Viking saga following Vaerik Grimholt through war, survival, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of becoming a legend. He is also the author of Derek, a dark vampire saga following Derek Smith—a medieval blacksmith whose transformation into a vampire begins a journey spanning centuries. Through changing eras, enemies, friendships, and unimaginable loss, Derek evolves from an ordinary man into something the supernatural world has never seen before. Whether writing among the frozen battlefields of the Viking age or following an immortal through centuries of history, Gregory’s stories are built around one thing: characters readers won’t forget.
