J.T. Ellison began her career as a presidential appointee in the White House, where a nuclear physicist taught her how to obsess over travel itineraries and make a seriously good pot of Earl Grey, spawning both her love of loose leaf and a desire for control of her own destiny. Jaded by the political climate in D.C., she made her way back to her first love, creative writing. More than 35 novels later, she is an award-winning New York Times and USA Today bestselling author with millions of books in print, and is published in 30 countries and 18 languages. She is also the EMMY-award winning cohost of A WORD ON WORDS, a literary interview television show on Nashville PBS. She lives in Nashville with her husband and two small gray minions, known as cats in some cultures. She thinks they’re furry aliens. More about J.T.
