TJ has crammed a lot of life into her years. Once a cop, now a professional writer, she uses her first hand experience of working the city streets of Sydney to write all things crime in both the news and in her fiction novels. TJ’s head has been buried in crime since studying criminology at university over a decade ago, and she just can’t seem to shake her fascination with the macabre. By day, TJ reports on southwestern Sydney's crime for News Corp, and by night she re-lives the action-packed life she may have once had through her strong fictional characters and sexy stories of mystery and intrigue. In 2015 TJ won the Readers Choice Award for best romantic suspense at Readers and Writer’s Down Under for her novel, Death’s Shadow and went on to win the converted Scarlet Stiletto Award for the Sister’s In Crime Association. Her debut books, Buying Thyme and Finding Thyme were acquired by Harlequin Mira and published in 2015 and 2016.
