P.J. Tracy is a pseudonym for a writing team of two, mother and daughter hailing from North America. They live in Los Angeles, and Minnesota. The two have a common bond both in their profession and personal lives as expected of a mother and her daughter.

P.J. Lambrecht

P.J. or Patricia Lambrecht, who is the daughter and younger one in the writing duo, started writing at the tender age of 8 years where she had her first short story publication made in The Saturday Evening Post. This jumpstarted her freelance writing career although with little experience but much success as anticipated from a noveau in the field. This has been her means of survival ever since.

Patricia, who was raised in a well off family from the upper middle class in America, dropped out of college to pursue her writing career. The younger in the P.J. Tracy writing duo is said to have the largest collection of sweatpants in the world under her possession.

P.J.’s favorite read novel is a humor-terror novel by the name Winter of our Discontent authored by John Steinbeck. This partly gives a display on her humorous side which can also be seen in most of their works.

Traci Lambrecht

She was raised in Minnesota and spent much of her childhood in the activities of showing and riding horses.

She graduated in St. Olaf College which is in Minnesota with a major in Russian studies. There, she also studied about voice with the hope of one day becoming a spy, but after the end of the cold war, her hopes were thrashed and she turned to travelling to sing for rock bands. This was not much in line with what her mother wanted for her. To finance her trips, she started writing and this was the start point of her journey as a full time writer.

Her works were excellent and she realized her calling to be more of writer than music and travelling, which was a relief to her own mother.

In her free time, which does not come by easily due to the nature of her work; Traci Lambrecht prefers drinking wine and cooking. Like her daughter P. J., Traci has an inclination to novels in the humor-terror genre whereby her best read is The Catcher in the Rye which has been authored by J. D Salinger.

Traci Lambrecht looks at life from a contented angle view and finds humor in almost everything, from life itself as a whole in general, to kitten. She can count the things which she finds non humorous in life.

The duo has travelled to most destinations in the world and their opinion is that there is no dream destination they hold currently but their homes.
