Hi everybody and welcome to new subscribers!
Wow - I've been overwhelmed by the amazing response to my new series, the English Cottage Garden Mysteries- with so many readers saying they think it's my best yet ... thank you so much! :-)
It's been WONDERFUL to see all the 5-star reviews, emails and Facebook messages telling me how much you're enjoying the new characters and stories. So far, I think mad inventor Bertie and talkative ginger kitty Oren are in joint first place as fan favourites! ;-)
To celebrate the launch and as a thank you to fans of the books, I'm hosting an exciting giveaway with prizes including:
a gorgeous David Austin English rose bush for your own garden*
luxurious products from Crabtree & Evelyn's "Gardeners" range, and beautiful notecards & scented candles from Laura Ashley
an adorable plush "Oren" and, of course, signed copies of the books ("pawtographed" by Muesli too!)
* If you don't have a garden, you can exchange the gift voucher for one of David Austin's beautiful books on roses.
Details of how to enter the giveaway below...

Oh! Before I forget - the PAPERBACK edition of DOOM AND BLOOM (Book 3) is now available, as well as the ebook. Apologies for the delay and thank you to all who have been waiting patiently for the print version.
DOOM AND BLOOM
(English Cottage Garden Mysteries ~ Book 3)
"Poppy is gaining some green fingers at last as she restores the beautiful cottage garden nursery she's inherited. When she meets a wealthy dog lover at the village fête and is hired to create a "canine scent garden", the future looks rosy - until the day ends in murder!
Meanwhile Einstein the terrier has fallen head-over-paws for a pampered poodle and Poppy has her hands full keeping him out of trouble. But she finds unexpected sleuthing help from eccentric scientist Bertie - not to mention one very talkative, bossy ginger cat..."
My narrator will be starting to record my new series soon and we hope to release Book 1 (DEADHEAD AND BURIED) in July... so stay tuned! :-)
Update on German translations...
We have decided on a title for the German edition of "A Scone to Die for" (Oxford Tearoom Mysteries ~ Book 1)...
TöRTCHEN, TEE UND TOD (Tartlet, Tea and Death)
A big thank you to everyone who helped suggest possible titles for the German version. We decided on this as having the right "fun" tone and perfect mix of baking, mystery and humour that characterises the series. (And it's always good to have a bit of alliteration)
This is the first of my books to be translated and I'm really excited to share my stories with a whole new group of readers. I can't wait to show you the cover art soon!
Oh - and I'm also starting a specific newsletter for German fans. If you'd like to be kept up to date about my German releases, please head over to "HY Hannas Leserklub" to sign up: https://www.hyhanna.com/german-newsletter

Finally, for those not following me on Facebook and who might have missed these... here are some photos I shared recently which you might enjoy! :-)
Unlike the fictional "Muesli" in my Oxford Tearoom Mysteries, the real Muesli is a bit of a scaredy-cat and never wants to leave our garden - haha! She hides whenever she sees strangers or hears loud noises (although she's quite confident & sassy once she gets to know you). So she loves our gate which lets her peek out at the world, while still feeling safe & hidden!
Muesli isn't the only one who enjoys the haven of my "little cottage garden in Australia"... I sometimes take my laptop to write outside - for a change of scene (and inspiration!). Here's me working in my "outdoor office" ;-)
