About T.J. MacGregor

T.J. MacGregor is an American author of fiction. She was born in 1947. It is a pen name used by Patricia Marie Janeshutz MacGregor. She also used the pseudonyms of Trish Janeshutz and Alison Drake. T.J. MacGregor was originally born with the name of Patricia Janeshutz. She then got the nickname of Trish. When she got married, her name was changed to MacGregor, the name of her groom. In addition, she used the name of Trish Janeshutz for the first two novels that were published. However, it was a last name that was difficult to pronounce. Her editor asked the author to come up with something that would be a more manageable name. With the pressure on to craft a name that was both simpler and had initials in it to be more androgynous, Patricia tried to think of a name that might work better. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Aline Scott Books series, T.J. MacGregor has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
