Tracie Peterson (born 1959) is an American author of Christian fiction. Often called the “Queen of Historical Christian Fiction, she writes many historical novels, with romantic and Christian faith-based themes in them. She has co-written with a variety of Christian authors on joint novels.
Many of her books are published by Bethany House. She originally used the pen name of Janelle Jamison.
Several of her series feature Harvey Girls, who are historically part of the Fred Harvey Company.
