Hi, Hej, Kia Ora, I’m Madeleine!

Madeleine was born and raised in Sweden on the beautiful island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. Living a carefree childhood filled with adventures and surrounded by Viking remnants, her creativity was actively encouraged by her family. Madeleine was a voracious reader from an early age, with a fondness for mystery and convinced she’d become a Private Detective or a Spy when she grew up.

Madeleine moved to New Zealand in the early nineties. Now married with two daughters, her family also consists of a trio of West Highland White Terriers-Harry, Archie, and Jemma.

Apart from being a bookworm and a polyglot, she loves walking on the beach, her beloved Westies, yoga, painting, patchwork, and spending time with family and friends.

Her thriller-Blood on Vines is the first installment in The Matakana Series and will be out in February 2021. The second book in the series, Rings on Water is underway and will be released at the end of 2021.
