John W. Jennison (July 1, 1911 - April 8, 1980), also known as John Theydon, was a prolific British author of fiction during the 1950s and 60s. He is thought to have written over 100 novels, under various pseudonyms. Jennison authored six Thunderbirds novels in 1966 and 1967, having previously written stories for Supercar, Stingray, and would later write for Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. He would seemingly retire not long afterwards, with no more identifiable books having been published under any of his pen-names.
Despite his prolific output, not much is know about Jennison's personal life.
Beginning in 2021, Jennison's Thunderbirds novels were republished and adapted into audio stories for Anderson Entertainment.
