It seems so long ago already, but before we all stopped leaving our houses, I was lucky enough to catch J.T. Ellison’s event at Solid State Books for her new boarding school thriller, GOOD GIRLS LIE. J.T. is always a ray of sunshine and her newest book is getting some of the best reviews of her career, like this starred rave from Publishers Weekly: “A high-tension thriller...Alternating points of view raise the suspense, blurring the lines between what’s true and false...Ellison keeps readers guessing throughout." (I love to guess. Don’t you?)

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 20 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 28 countries and 16 languages. She is also the EMMY-award winning cohost of A WORD ON WORDS, a literary interview television show, and co-wrote the “A Brit in the FBI” series with #1 New York Times bestseller Catherine Coulter. She lives in Nashville with her husband and two small gray minions, known as cats in some cultures. She thinks they’re furry aliens. Visit JT at Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for more insight into her wicked imagination.

J.T.’s #read99women pick is Laura Benedict’s THE STRANGER INSIDE.

“Nothing excites me more than a talented author making an editorial pivot,” says J.T. “Dark, intelligent, beautifully written.” Read her full review here on BookBub.
