Latest Releases

The first bluebells of spring blooming in my garden! :-) These are Spanish bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica) - they grow better in Australia. I've planted them in various shady spots and they seem to be naturalising well. But I do hope one day to see the famed "bluebell woods" of England... definitely on my bucket list!
(Argh! Why didn't I get into gardening when we were still living in Oxford?! I could have visited/seen so many amazing gardens so much more easily!! :P ) ... See MoreSee Less

Just beautiful! But her in England we have the rogue bluebells as well which have a different formation of petals. x

Beautiful!

You are doing a good job. I have planted these as well and here in frozen upstate NY they do well.

You will have to come in May. There is a beautiful Bluebell Wood a 40 minute drive from me in a National Trust Garden, Emmetts in Sevenoaks, Kent. Do you have relatives in Blighty.

Good job!

Beautiful!

beautiful!!!

Beautiful!!!

Your gardens are beautiful. Your books are wonderful also. Loving Aunt Olive and Sol.

I have bluebells as well. Sadly, hot weather and gale force wind has knocked them for six. Yours are lovely.

beautiful!

Gorgeous

Love yours! Last April in Georgia, USA. 😉

Going to read 'Flips Flops' next 😄🐈

They are beautiful ❤️

Don't miss this series. Start with number one and enjoy all 3 by H.Y. Hanna.

Thank you. 😘

Loving this series! 1 and 2 done and halfway through 3!!!

I am in the middle of book one and loving it this series.

Starting these soon! I can’t wait!

I love your books on audio. Have book 1 on audio. Waiting for the others. You have an incredible talent. Thank you

I have read a few of your books & liked them. I don’t know why I don’t buy mor3, shame on me. Love be this cover & title. Book sounds good.

I've read all the books in this series. I wasn't sure about it at the beginning, but I really got to enjoy the series more and more and hope that there will be other books.

I’ll be waiting for Pearl Hewitt’s audio version, but yay! in the meantime....

Love this new series so much!! ♥️

Half through with it already! Love this new series!

Started this one today

I'm almost done.... and I've got the 4th on order for January. I learn new stuff in each one. Learning about making cocktails is something I wouldn't have done, but it's quite scientific. I lived in various parts of Florida growing up and did have 3 pet alligators. At least for awhile. :)

Finished book 3 and waiting for the next one! Love this series. Hope you and your family are doing well.

So far I am loving this series! But I do miss Gemma and the old biddies!!

Fabulous series, I am really enjoying the books, thank you 😃

I've been trying to grow tulips without much success. I tried back in 2017, the 1st year I started gardening, and was so disappointed that I said "never again!". Then earlier this year, I was seduced by gorgeous bulb catalogues and decided to try again (yes, that scene of Poppy blowing her savings on bulbs in TROWEL AND ERROR is inspired by real life! ;-) ). They've just come up and they're stumpy little tulips again!! They have no stems and are practically underground! So disheartening! :-( I did some research online and it seems this happens when they're not cold enough when growing (I did buy my bulbs "pre-chilled" but I think the Perth soil temp is still too warm). Anyway, I've decided to dig them up & keep them as cut flowers in the house. This way, at least I can see them without having to lie on the ground - hahaha! ... See MoreSee Less

Here in the US we plant bulbs only in the coldest part of Fall... wish I could send you some of the wild ones around here, they grow back hearty and strong every year despite being mowed down...

das sind aber tolle tulpen

Maybe before planting them you could put them in the freezer to activate them! Here in Belgium next to the Netherlands we do that with some seeds and tulips here are planted just before the winter freeze begins... So it might be something to experiment with?!

Skagit Valley in Western Washington has some of the most beautiful tulip fields anywhere. They have a big tulip festival in the spring, but sadly, not this year. www.tulipfestival.org/ Hope you can come up with the right growing conditions for tulips! They're one of my favorite flowers!

I live in the US and had that happen to me. The next time I purchased tulip bulbs, I kept them in the refrigerator for a few weeks before planning them in November (cool weather for us before any hard frost). They were gorgeous for 2 years, then some critters (moles perhaps) ate most of the bulbs. Don't give up yet!

Very pretty

The chipmunks 🐿 ate all of my tulip bulbs. I had to give up a few years ago!

Yes here in Georgia it is hard. Winters are mild. Often folks freeze bulbs for a month or then plant February.

They are lovely.

such beautiful tulips🥰

Beautiful, BUT GET BACK TO WRITING!!!!!

Funnily enough I was talking to the Polish lady who has planted an amazing community garden on a verge of our local park here in Sydney. She’s got a handful of beautiful daffodils but was saying how hard tulips are to grow here, so she just has a very few of them in her own back yard, which she protects from possums and has to nurture very carefully.

These look lovely, well done to keep trying. Looks successful to me. Respectfully ckg: Have you tried potting them? Then put the pot away when too hot, if you have room to store in a cool place w bit of leaf much on top until the worst of heat has past. Tulips are a spring flower requiring upper limit of 55 F or 12.5 C. This image has Canada’s sesquicentennial tulips that i potted to bloom for Canada Day July 01 2017

They look precious in that little vase.

Good try!

How cold do your winters get? Do you get a prolonged freeze?

I think they’re trying to tell you something!

Tulips do well in New York State. Our winters are very cold. Also, after the flowers die don't cut the green stalks. That's when they produce the next year's flower.

They’re so cute anyway!❤️

I could never grow tulips in Sydney. Don’t think there is enough dormant time in the soil as it’s too warm

Good idea. Enjoy them.

I think they're beautiful 🥰

Gorgeous color and shape anyway! (And yes, if it doesn’t get cold enough, they won’t develop properly. There are people who literally dig up and refrigerate the bulbs every winter. Not something I would bother with, I confess. I’d just go with one of the many thing that like more warmth...)

At least they have bloomed

Aww they do look lovely though. Lol I will send you some from the cold weather England! xxxx

Eek! Nearly forgot to share this! :P For all my German fans: Book 3 in EIN-OXFORD-TEAROOM-KRIMI (the Deutsch edition of my Oxford Tearoom Mysteries) is now available for pre-order! https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08FZL5NK7/ Thank you to all those who sent in title suggestions. In the end, we decided to go for: „Morden und Tee trinken" - a pun of the German proverb: „Abwarten und Tee trinken“ (which my translator explained literally means "wait and drink tea", the German version of ‘wait and see’ ). I like the fact that all 3 books in the series so far will have "tee" in their titles - a nice way to tie them together. This book will hopefully be released before Christmas! :-) ...

So nice. Freesias are my favourite flowers. I had a standing joke with my mother. Every time I went to visit her, I'd bring her a bunch of freesias if they were in season. This was because she couldn't smell them. She has an excellent sense of smell, except for freesias.

Truly beautiful.

Beautiful!

Beautiful!😍

Just gorgeous and the colours wow! x

Hi! Have you ever considered creating a Facebook group for your fans?

"Welcome to the deadliest beach resort in Florida... https://amzn.to/3bqgI5S English girl Ellie is a 'fish-out-of-water' when she arrives in sunny Florida for an unexpected vacation with her aunt at a beach resort. But she's barely dipped her toe in the ocean before she finds mystery and murder lurking between the swaying palm trees. Now she must battle sunburn, jet lag and a cheeky parrot named Hemingway, while trying to snoop around for clues. But life gets even more complicated when she meets the resident cat Mojito, who leads Ellie on a wild 'gator' chase - not to mention the handsome resort doctor who sets her pulse racing in a different way! As more red herrings than sand dollars wash up on the beach, Ellie must use all her wits to solve the cases, before her visit to the Sunshine State becomes deadlier than she ever imagined..." ...

Fabulous stories I have really enjoyed them, looking forward to the last one in the series.

Love these books so much! Can't wait till the next one is ready ♥️

Love love love your books!

Loved it. ❤️

There was a new one in my Kindle app this morning. Wasn’t expecting it for another fortnight. No housework today!

That's exciting! I thought it was only going to bee a 3-book series, so now I'm only halfway done!

Perfect summer read! Always make sure to preorder. 😎😘

When will the audiobooks of 2 and 3 be available? Waiting patiently, but please hurry up 😂😉

I just finished the second book in this series and really loved it!

I love this new series. I read the 1st two and saw your email that the third is now available. I will order that now. You know you have a good series when you finish reading one of the books and you find yourself thinking of the characters days later. Thank you for this new series.
