AUTHOR BIO: T.M. PAYNE
T.M. Payne (Tina) was born in Lee on Solent, Hampshire and now lives on the Wirral with her wife, Susie, who she works closely with on her novels. Tina is the best-selling author of the D.I. Sheridan Holler series, set in Liverpool. Her debut novel, LONG TIME DEAD was published in April 2024 and went to number one in Crime Fiction in both the UK and Germany. The
second book in the series, THIS ENDS NOW was published in October 2024 and went to number one in the UK and Australia.
The third book, PLAY WITH FIRE will be published in March 2025 and Tina is currently working on the fourth. Tina has spent most of her working life in the criminal justice system, starting out as a Store Detective (where she once got thrown in a river) before becoming a Prisoner Custody Officer (where she once carried a prisoner out of the courtroom single-handedly, when he started hallucinating butterflies)
She has worked in practically every London court, including the Old Bailey and Court of Appeal and has been handcuffed to murderers, rapists, and one of the worst sexual predators this country has ever seen. In 2001, she joined Norfolk Police as a Detention Officer, working in the custody suite, before joining the Domestic Violence Unit as a Police Case Investigator. In her 14 years in that role, she dealt with thousands of victims of domestic abuse, with one of her cases earning her a Chief Constable’s commendation.
Having left the police in 2019, Tina now writes full time.
