Summary: Tracy McMillan is a television writer and memoirist, most recently on the Emmy-award-winning AMC series, MAD MEN. Previously, she wrote on Showtime's UNITED STATES OF TARA, ABC's LIFE ON MARS, and NBC's JOURNEYMAN. I LOVE YOU AND I' M LEAVING YOU ANYWAY is Tracy's first book. Born and raised in Minneapolis, Tracy spent years in the foster-care system. After graduating from the University of Utah with a broadcast-journalism degree, she wrote and produced television news way, way longer than she wanted to - at such outlets as NBC Nightly News, WNBC-TV, KNBC-TV, and Access Hollywood. Tracy's articles and essays have appeared in a number of print publications and websites. She is a regular performer at Sit-n-Spin on the Comedy Central stage in Los Angeles. For fun, Tracy writes and records music that she likes to think might be big in France. She also reads textbooks on marriage and family therapy, takes impromptu portraits of interesting-looking strangers and drinks coffee in foreign countries whenever possible. She is the mother of a 13-year-old boy, and lives in Los Angeles.
