After decades of college teaching, J. T. Tierney retired into the best job he's ever had: writing novels. His books range from historical sagas to psychological thrillers to workplace rom-coms and literary romance. Yet, they're all bound by a single preoccupation: how smart people (especially the female characters) navigate messy, complicated lives with resilience and wit.

His novel "Perfect Plans" received a 2025 Reedsy Discovery Editor’s Choice Award. His work has also been praised by Foreword Clarion Reviews and The U.S. Review of Books.
