Biography

J.T. Allen

J.T. Allen is a long-time screenwriter who sold his first script while living in Paris. He then moved to Los Angeles and wrote several early drafts of The Lion King. His television movie credits include TNT's "Geronimo" and "The Good Old Boys," FX's "Redemption" and CBS's "Death in Paradise."

The first Daisy Tannenbaum misadventure, DAISY AND THE PIRATES, started as a pitch for a Disney Channel movie. Allen loved the character, who was inspired by his two daughters, and wrote his first novel instead. DAISY IN EXILE, the second in the series, began as chapters for Daisy's blog, "My Stupid Journal." He is presently working on the third book in the series.
