“I remember the day she arrived so clearly.  What quirk of fate led her to me?  I wondered about this for years.  If only I had stepped right instead of left at the corner.  I will never recover from her.” (from the prologue of “Tear Me Apart” by J.T. Ellison)

J.T. Ellison is a New York Times and USA Today Best Selling Author of psychological thrillers and romantic suspense.  She also co-authored the “A Brit in the FBI” series with another New York Times Best Seller, Catherine Coulter.  She was nominated for the Rita Award for Best Romantic Suspense and the Audie Award for Thriller/Suspense.

Ellison received her master’s degree from the George Washington Graduate School of Political Management. She began her career as a presidential appointee in the White House. Weary of the political climate in D.C., she turned to her first love of creative writing. She has since written more than 20 novels and is published in 28 countries and in 16 languages.

Drawn to fiction at a very young age,  J.T had a passionate love for Perry Mason and as a writer she was inspired by John Sandford.

I just finished reading “Tear Me Apart” (2018). It kept me on my seat. There is a story within the story as a mother is willing to do anything to protect her competitive skiing daughter. As the story unfolds you will experience a horrendous accident, illness, secrets, betrayal and murder.

Ellison's latest “Good Girls Lie” (2019) is a fast paced thriller. There are truths and there are lies and there is everything that really happened ...

Happy reading mystery lovers!
