M.J.T. Meijer was born in 1970 in rural Holland. Although her parents named her Maria, they’ve always called her ‘Tam’ or ‘Tammie’.
Having lived in different countries she speaks several languages and currently resides in Brisbane, Australia, with her husband and son. While living in Dubai and practicing as a hypnotherapist and guest writer for a local wellbeing magazine, Tam formed the inspiration to write Misguided, the first in the Sam Jansen series.
Writing the sequel, Misjudged, seemed a logical next step. Tammie believes she has successfully managed to further develop the characters whilst creating a new story line with as much suspense as Misguided, ensuring both novels make for a riveting read on their own. The third in the series featuring psychic Samantha Jansen is next in line and currently boasts the working title Misconstrued.
Once she finished Disbelief, introducing medium Ben Smit and Dave Johnson, head of the Europol homicide team, Tam decided it should be the first in a series and keenly started work on Disregard. Once that manuscript was polished and finetuned, she took six months to sidestep the genre for a moment and focus on something a little more light-hearted, which resulted in A Spade and a Bottle of Port, a humorous crime with a touch of romance. Tam is currently finishing Disorder, her fifth suspense novel and third in the Ben Smit series.

I was hooked by this book from the blurb alone, it was definitely a book that intrigued me and I dove straight in when it landed with me.
I thought that the plot for this book was very, very good. The pace was spot on and the writing style was excellent – just what the book needed and it sits brilliantly within its genre.

Exciting! Good read.
Psychic medium and single mother Sam Jansen’s life is in turmoil. Since suffering serious trauma only months earlier, she’s lost the ability to communicate with the spirit world and, as if that is not upsetting enough, she’s being plagued by involuntary Out of Body Experiences during which she is a witness to horrific, torturous murders.
A professional hitman travels the world, leaving a trail of dead bodies but no evidence.
In England, five-year old Ryker creates savant-like sketches of images he ‘sees’ in his nightmares, mumbling ‘Daddy’s going to die.’
While Dave Johnson teams up with former partner Cooper Campbell in Australia to hunt for the hitman, hypnotherapist and psychic Ben Smit sets out to help Ry and his mother, Cat.
Are the boy’s dreams a symptom of a disturbed mind or could they be memories of a past life?
And is it a coincidence that both Dave’s and Ben’s pursuits lead to a former mental asylum in rural New Zealand?
Katie Elmer is lost; clearly she has died, but suffering a headwound and amnesia, she has no recollection of what has happened. In Ben Smit, hypnotherapist and psychic medium, she finds someone who might be able to help her find out the circumstances surrounding her death. Ben in turn, requests the help of his cop-friend in charge of the homicide department at Europol Dave Johnson, who currently leads a team investigating a serial killer case in Geneva, Switzerland. While Katie actively helps unravel the mystery of her own passing, she discovers her case is somehow entwined with the serial killer’s. But how does the Monaco prison where she used to work fit in, and prison doctor Matt Robinson? Why is former soldier and recently deceased Jack Anderson out for revenge, and what is his connection to Katie and a Genevan medical research facility? When yet another murder takes place, both cases take a dramatic turn and it becomes clear several lives are at stake, including that of an innocent little girl.
