Agent: Broo Doherty, DHH Literary Agency Editor: Victoria Haslam, Thomas & Mercer Twitter: @Tinap66Payne Instagram: @TMPayneAuthor T.M. Payne’s Detective Sheridan Holler series is published by Thomas & Mercer. Her debut novel, LONG TIME DEAD, was published on 1st April 2024 and became an Amazon #1 bestseller in the UK and Germany (under the title SCHON LANGE TOT.) The second in the DI Sheridan Holler series, THIS ENDS NOW, was published on 15th October 2024 and also became a #1 bestseller. Book 3 in the series, PLAY WITH FIRE was published in March 2025 and became an instant #1 bestseller in Australia. Book 4, COUNT THE DEAD will be published on 1st November 2025 (which coincides with T.M Payne's birthday, so she'll probably be under a table somewhere on publication day) Having signed a further 4 book deal with Thomas and Mercer, T.M. Payne is busy writing the next books in the series. T. M. Payne was born in Lee-On-Solent, Hampshire and now lives on the Wirral with her wonderful partner Susie, who works very closely with her on her novels, but takes little credit! Having worked in the criminal justice system for most of her working life, she spent 18 years in Norfolk police, the last 14 of which, she was a Police Case Investigator within the Domestic Violence Unit. Her previous jobs include: a Store Detective (she once got thrown in a river), a Prisoner Custody Officer in all the London courts including the Old Bailey (yes, she's been handcuffed to a few dangerous characters, including murderers, rapists and a cannibal), and a Detention Officer (where, during night shifts, she was known for playing practical jokes on her colleagues) She now writes full time. Usually at the kitchen table (because she hides chocolate in the fridge and therefore has easy access) If you see her at Crime Fiction events, please say hello....she's pretty friendly and loves talking to her readers. She is crazy about animals and if you walk past her with your dog, she will probably ask if she can pat it on the head. Or take it home with her. Or both. She loves laughing, Christmas, playing golf (badly), walking along New Brighton beach (not walking her dog because she hasn’t got one) snow, sunsets, family, friends and cats. And penguins. She is also partial to tea (not tea) and Jaffa Cakes (actual Jaffa Cakes) She dislikes beetroot.
