Traci Harding is an Australian novelist, born in 1964. Her work intricately blends fantasy, fact, esoteric belief, time travel, and quantum physics into adventurous romps through history, alternative dimensions, universes, and states of consciousness.

She was born and raised in Carlingford, a western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales. Harding's early interests included "music, boys, daydreaming, and storytelling". After leaving school, she first pursued an interest in music, and then worked in film studio management for several years where she wrote and developed film scripts before beginning her journey as a novelist.
