Tracey Toomey McQuade is a mama, writer and yogi who splits her time between NYC and Amagansett. She co-authored the novel, The Perfect Manhattan, and the tongue-in-cheek advice book, Cocktail Therapy and has freelanced for Glamour, Marie Claire, Runner's World, Gotham, Mind Body Green, Hamptons and too many gossip magazines to count! A devoted practitioner of yoga and meditation, Tracey teaches at Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor and hosts writing and yoga retreats with her friend and fellow east end writer, Jessica Soffer. When she's not writing or on her yoga mat, she is likely on the beach practicing handstands with her 6-year-old son, John Michael, or playing hide and seek in Amagansett square with her almost 2-year-old daughter, Ryanne or mincing garlic in the kitchen with her husband, Matt.
