[[caption-width-right:300:Her husband is ''also'' [[Creator/IsaacAsimov Dr Asimov]].]]

Dr Janet Asimov (born Janet Opal Jeppson, 6 August 1926 -- died 25 February 2019) began writing in the late 1960s, having prioritized a career as a psychiatrist first. Writing ScienceFiction, NonFiction, and MysteryFiction was a pastime that her husband, Creator/IsaacAsimov, encouraged. The two collaborated on several stories, and Janet Asimov continued her medical career at the same time. On a personal level, when Isaac became sick, she researched medical problems and convinced him to test his blood for certain markers. Ten years after his death, she revealed that it had been the result of an HIV infection from a poorly-sanitized blood transfusion during his 1983 heart surgery.

Janet Asimov's most prolific decade of writing was during the 1980s, and when she collaborated with her husband Isaac, he would regularly credit her with the majority of the work, limiting himself to editing her drafts. Many of her independently written stories were published under [[MoustacheDePlume the alias J. O. Jeppson]], even after her marriage. She continued to be active for many years, until her own death on 25 February 2019.

!!Her works provide examples of:
* AdvertisingByAssociation: ''Literature/MindTransfer'': Beneath the [[BilledAboveTheTitle author's name]], the cover points out that she is the co-author of ''Literature/TheNorbyChronicles'' and ''Literature/NorbyRobotForHire''.
* BilledAboveTheTitle:
** ''Literature/LaughingSpace'': Creator/IsaacAsimov and Creator/JOJeppson are listed as the authors in the top third of the cover, their last names in much large font than their first names (or [[MoustacheDePlume initials]]). The title itself still eclipses their names, with only a small part of the cover left for an illustration.
** ''Literature/MindTransfer'': Janet Asimov is listed at the top of the cover, roughly as large as the title.
* MoustacheDePlume: To avoid revealing her gender, she originally used J. O. Jeppson, and would continue to use it as a professional name even as she began publishing other stories as "Janet Jeppson" or "Janet Asimov".
* RobotBuddy: ''Literature/{{Norby}}'': A series of novels by [[Creator/JanetAsimov Janet]] and [[Creator/IsaacAsimov Isaac]] Asimov. Partner/buddy/property of Jefferson Wells, Norby has {{Telepathy}}, [[SubspaceOrHyperspace Hyperdrive]], and TimeTravel abilities. Incidentally, as it was made in 1985, he may be the first of the DeadpanSnarker bots.
* SharedUniverse: ''Literature/IsaacsUniverse'' is a shared [[TheVerse setting]] created by Creator/IsaacAsimov in the 1990s, totaling five books. Three volumes were [[{{Anthology}} anthologies]] of short stories edited by Creator/MartinHGreenberg (contributing authors included Creator/PoulAnderson, Creator/DavidBrin, Creator/HalClement, Creator/GeorgeAlecEffinger, Creator/KarenHaber, Creator/JanetKagan, Creator/RebeccaOre, Creator/RobertSheckley, Creator/RobertSilverberg, Creator/AllenSteele, Creator/HarryTurtledove, and Creator/LawrenceWattEvans). The novels ''{{Literature/Fossil}}'' by Creator/HalClement and ''Literature/MurderAtTheGalacticWritersSociety'' by Creator/JanetAsimov also take place in the same setting.
* ShoutOut: ''Literature/MindTransfer'': The cover by {{Creator/Heyne}} publishers (German) make a robot like [=C-3PO=] (from ''Franchise/StarWars'') to hold the human brain/mind.
* SpaceCadet: ''Literature/NorbyChronicles'': Jefferson Wells is a teenager trying to become a member of the galactic, with the help of his used teaching robot, Norby. Norby was purchased to help Jeff study, and he tries, but often his efforts turn into pan-dimensional TimeTravel adventures instead of lessons relating to school.
* {{Tagline}}:
** ''Literature/TheLastImmortal'': "Beyond the future we imagine... on the other side of the universe we know... the alien ventures where no human has dared."
** ''Literature/LaughingSpace'': "An anthology of science fiction humour"
** ''Literature/MindTransfer'': "Humans have never been perfect ... until now."
** ''Literature/PshrinksAnonymousTheMysteriousCureAndOtherStories'': "Thirteen strange tales of space, time, and the amazing powers of the human mind..."
