Revision as of 10:33, 16 May 2016
Is there anywhere she's actually credited in the DWU as just Jenny Colgan? Both Time Reaver and In the Blood in 2016 also use the T.
These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.
Jenny Colgan wrote the Eleventh Doctor novel, Dark Horizons, under the pen-name J.T. Colgan and her short story, The Triple Knife, as well as her audio story The Boundless Sea, as Jenny T. Colgan. She otherwise wrote under her full name and was credited as Jenny Colgan for her later DWU works.[which?]
She once claimed that her entirely fictitious middle initial stood for "Tardis".[1]
As of 2013[update], 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.[1]
She also contributed to the charity reference book Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who.
