J.T. Ellison is the international award-winning author of seven critically acclaimed novels, multiple short stories and has been published in over twenty countries. A former White House staffer, she has worked extensively with the Metro Nashville Police, the FBI and various other law enforcement organizations to research her novels. She lives in Nashville with her husband and a poorly trained cat, and is hard at work on her next novel.
Ellison is the author of the crime series featuring Nashville homicide detective Taylor Jackson. The series opened with the 2007 work, All the Pretty Girls, a novel lauded by BookPage: “Ellison does a skillful job of capturing the city and its flavors, while taking the police procedural out of its usual New York/Los Angeles/Chicago big-city milieu and placing it in a mid-sized, vibrant Southern city. She’s populated her novel with believable players, on both sides of the law.” The Cold Room, the fourth in the series, won the 2011 ITW Thriller Award for best paperback original. Seventh is the series, Where All the Dead Lie, is just out, and has also been praised by the critics, including Publishers Weekly, who felt that “the growing suspense will keep readers glued.” (more…)
