About Traci Slatton

Traci Slatton was born into a Navy family. She grew up in Great Lakes, IL; Norfolk, VA; Olathe, KS;
Millington, TN; and Groton, CT. She knew at the age of 6 years old, after reading her first 'big
book,' that she wanted to be a novelist.

Traci has published dozens of poems, short stories, and articles in magazines and literary
journals. She greatly enjoyed researching Edgar Cayce, quantum physics, and Rupert
Sheldrake's morphic fields for PIERCING TIME & SPACE. For the historical novel IMMORTAL
(Slatton's debut novel, blending alchemy and the supernatural in an historical novel that sweeps
a mysterious young orphan from Renaissance Florence across nearly two hundred tumultuous
years), she inquired deeply into the art and life of the Italian Renaissance, a period when thinkers
like Pico della Mirandola, Leonardo da Vinci, and Marsilio Ficino were engaged in questioning
the nature and relationship of science, art, and the soul.
