Tao of J.T. is the online blog of New York Times bestselling author and EMMY-award winning television host J.T. Ellison.
I'm so thrilled to have been included in Nigel Bird's fascinating series of interviews, Dancing with Myself, on his fabulous blog Sea Minor. The concept is simple - the author interviews themselves. Anything goes, but Nigel suggested that we work with questions not often asked, if ever, by readers and fans. There's an amazing list of authors who have participated, so give the site a look see once you're done with me. Cool folks!
Here's my self-indulgence. Enjoy!

As a part of the Oprah Winfrey Network's LIFE IS NOT A STRAIGHT LINE series, OWN came to Tennessee to delve into the 90 degree turn my life took when I decided to leave the world of politics and aerospace marketing behind and become a thriller writer.

I'm so honored to be interviewed by the fine folks at Exaclair for their wonderful series, THE WRITERS' PROJECT.
We talked about my past, growing up in Colorado, my writing process, THE IMMORTALS, and all kinds of other great stuff. Stop by and take a look, and don't forget to read the cool profiles on Jeff Abbott and Damon Young.
Here's the very first interview about THE IMMORTALS, hosted by the fabulous folks at Suspense Magazine. I come on at the 30 minute mark, and I was asked questions I've never been asked before... so fun. And the fabulous Steven James precedes me, so give the whole thing a listen. Enjoy!
