J.T. Ellison is a highly acclaimed American author, well-known for her suspenseful and thrilling novels. Born in Florida, she spent her formative years in Colorado before moving to Washington, D.C. as a teenager. It was during her time in D.C. that she discovered her passion for literature, drawing inspiration from authors such as John Grisham, Patricia Cornwell, and James Patterson. Despite facing early setbacks in her writing career, including a dismissive thesis advisor, Ellison's resilience and determination led her to pursue a career in writing, eventually finding great success.
Ellison has authored more than 25 novels, with millions of copies in circulation across the globe. Her works have been translated into 28 languages and have been optioned for television adaptation. Among her most popular series are the Taylor Jackson and Samantha Owens novels, which have garnered critical acclaim and numerous awards. In addition to her suspenseful thrillers, Ellison also writes urban fantasy under the pseudonym Joss Walker.
In addition to her writing career, Ellison is also the co-host of the literary TV show A WORD ON WORDS, for which she has received an EMMY® award. Her literary success has earned her a spot on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, cementing her status as a prominent figure in the American literary scene. Despite her numerous achievements, Ellison remains humble and dedicated to her craft, continuing to work on new novels from her home in Nashville, Tennessee, where she lives with her husband and twin kittens.
