The Rosemount Writers Festival and Book Fair will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2025 from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm at the Steeple Center, 14375 S. Robert Trail, Rosemount, MN.
PJ Tracy is our keynote speaker this year beginning at 9am. PJ Tracy is the pseudonym of the mother-daughter writing duo PJ and Traci Lambrecht, winners of the Anthony, Barry, Gumshoe, and Minnesota Book Awards. Their cyberthriller Monkeewrench series were national and international bestsellers. After PJ’s passing in 2016, Traci wrote two more books in the Monkeewrench series and began the Margaret Nolan Detective series, set in Los Angeles. Her newest novel, The Deepest Cut, is due in September and marks a return to the Monkeewrench world.
