Payne was born in Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire and now lives on the Wirral with her wonderful partner.Having worked in the criminal justice system for eighteen years, the last fourteen of which as a police case investigator within the Domestic Violence Unit, she has now taken a break to concentrate on her passion for writing crime novels.T. M. Payne 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, sunshine, sunsets, family and friends.She dislikes beetroot.

“T. M. Payne is one of the most talented storytellers of our time. The gripping and authentic storytelling, clever and deeply satisfying plot and superb characters makes This Ends Now my standout novel of the year and puts Payne at the top table of crime writers.” —Graham Bartlett“Dark and gripping, expertly plotted, and full of warmth and humour—you won’t want this book to end.” —Mel Sherratt“A propulsive and character driven mystery woven with authenticity and aplomb.” —Victoria Selman“A brilliant and compassionate new detective joins the scene.” —Claire McGowan“Such a great series. DI Sheridan Holler is one of my all-time favourite detectives. Written with warmth and humour, as well as a dark and twisty tale.” —Jo Callaghan“TM Payne's 18-year career in the criminal justice system brings authenticity to every page of This Ends Now. An expertly woven plot combined with the warmth and wit of the main character, DI Sheridan Holler, make this second book in the series a must read for all crime fiction fans. A cracking police procedural. Don't miss this one!” —D. S. Butler
