P. J. Tracy
P. J. Tracy is the pseudonym of mother-daughter writing duo
P.J. and Traci Lambrecht, winners of the Anthony, Barry,
Gumshoe, and Minnesota Book Awards. Their first three
novels, MONKEEWRENCH, LIVE BAIT and DEAD
RUN, have become national and international bestsellers.
P.J. Lambrecht is a college dropout with one of the largest
collections of sweatpants in the world. She was raised in an
upper-middle class family of very nice people, and turned to
writing to escape the hardships of such a life. She had her
first short story published in The Saturday Evening
Post when Traci was eight, still mercifully oblivious to
her mother’s plans to eventually trick her into
joining the family business. She has been a moderately
successfully free-lance writer ever since, although she has
absolutely no qualifications for such a profession, except a
penchant for lying.
Traci Lambrecht spent most of her childhood riding and
showing horses. She graduated with a Russian Studies major
from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, where she
also studied voice. Her aspirations of becoming a spy were
dashed when the Cold War ended, so she instead attempted
briefly and unsuccessfully to import Eastern European folk
art. She began writing to finance her annoying habits of
travel and singing in rock bands, and much to her
mother’s relief, finally realized that the written
word was her true calling. They have been writing together
ever since. Traci now lives in Southern California and
divides her time between there, Minneapolis and Aspen.
