Jenny Colgan

Jenny Colgan (born 14 September 1972) wrote the Eleventh Doctor novel, Dark Horizons under the pen-name J.T. Colgan. She otherwise wrote under her full name, and was credited as Jenny Colgan for her later DWU works, Into the Nowhere, A Long Way Down, and All the Empty Towers.

She once claimed that her entirely fictitious middle initial stood for "Tardis".

, a reasonable amount of her work contained Scottish themes or locales, and Dark Horizons was no exception. Her novel-writing career started in earnest at the dawn of the 21st century, when she began releasing, on average, a little over a book a year.

Though typically a writer of romantic comedies for young adults, she was thrilled to be asked to write a Doctor Who novel, as she was a lifelong fan. Her association with Doctor Who began as a child watching Tom Baker and voraciously reading Target novelisations, but her fandom waned during the Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy tenures — only to be rekindled by the Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat eras.
