Tannis has worn many hats: occupational therapist in her early days, psychologist, university researcher and lecturer at various universities and medical schools and now author. She's written many first drafts which are safely stored on her hard drive (perhaps, one day, to be revised…) but she has published four novels and two books of short stories. Two of the novels are in paperback as well as ebook format. She lives with her husband in various places: two homes in New Zealand - a town house in Auckland and an adobe beach house on an isolated bay in Northland - and, to take full advantage of the northern summer, a tiny summer cottage (off the grid and boat-access only) on a remote lake in North-western Ontario in Canada. All are places perfect for writing. To get her stress levels down, Madeleine Brooks switches careers from a professional probation officer dealing with criminals and all that entails to estate agent in the English countryside dealing with ordinary people. Except they are often not ordinary and she finds herself deep in solving the whys and the wherefores of missing people, bodies long buried or murders most foul. If you love English mysteries set in quaint Oxfordshire villages with characters who walk off the pages into your life, then you'll enjoy Madeleine Brooks, Estate Agent (and frequently, Amateur Detective) in her new career.Stress free?
