Bio
TJ Hamilton is a former New South
Wales Police Officer who worked in various areas of policing around inner city
Sydney. She also holds a degree in Criminology through Griffith University. Her
love of crime and mystery started at an early age after she read her first
Agatha Christie novel at the age of nine. Her fascination with the darker side
of life came from living with a high-class escort when she first moved to Sydney
in her early twenties. She developed a close understanding of these ‘ladies of
the night’ over the years and loved the stories they told, most of whom she has
still remained friends with to this day. TJ writes about her first love, the
city of Sydney, and the wonderful places around this fabulous location. Her attachment
to fashion is also present within her stories, thanks to her handsome Husband and
his successful international modelling career. Writing came after leaving the
Police Force when she was pregnant with her daughter, she sat down one day and
started typing and has not stopped since. Nowadays TJ lives a quiet life in the
tropics as a devoted mother and wife who loves her kitty-cats, far from the
gun-slinging and criminal-catching days of the past. The action packed life she
may have once had is now relived through her sexy fictional stories of mystery
and intrigue.
6 Quick Things
A quote that means something to you.
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you imagined"
A song that describes you.
Paul Kelly - I've done all the dumb things
Who is your book boyfriend?
I was a total sucker for Edward in Twilight when it first came out... love a bit of old-worldy, angry teen angst controlling man-thing!
Who is your book girlfriend?
Makedde in Tara Moss' books. Love a kick-ass chick!
Author that inspired you and why?
EL James was my reason to publish my stories. She has opened up a world that has now empowered women to read stories that are left of field.
I totally hear ya! EL did that to me. I can read quite left of field these days. * waggles eyebrows *
With bells on! I am making one of those rare appearances out... Scary shit!

8. I am a qualified Personal Trainer.
9. I love to cook & make some mean Lamb Shanks in winter!
