Welcome to my website!
Greetings!
I hope you are all having an amazing summer. It's been glorious here in Devon—although my old Hungarian Vizsla, Draco, is not happy in the heat. I'm surprised at the amount of blackberries and sloes in the hedgerows. I shall soon be picking the latter to make sloe gin—a favorite tipple in the winter months.
Meanwhile some book news:
Happily—actually, I'm thrilled—I just turned in the twelfth Kat and Iris adventure - Deadly Derailment at Honeychurch Hall. Guess what the backdrop is? Pretty simple really ... trains. I enjoyed the research—but, as Dorothy Parker said, 'I hate writing, but I love having written'—and that's me to a tee.
Hopefully, I'll have a cover reveal in the next few weeks and give a little more information about what our intrepid duo get up to.
In case you missed the memo, the USA print edition of A Fatal Feast at Honeychurch Hall is available here:
The French translation will be published on August 20th - you can order that here.
Watch this space for news on Murder in Miniature which should be released on audio shortly (I know, out of sequence ... sigh).
If you have yet to read A Fatal Feast ... here is a little bit about it:
When Eric Pugsley, owner of the estate's unsightly scrapyard, returns home with his Turkish fiancée, the village is delighted—especially when her formidable mother arrives, ever-present Terkel cigarette in hand.
To celebrate, a Safari Supper at Honeychurch Hall is planned. But before dessert is served, a guest vanishes—later found drowned in the estate's ornamental lake. Rumors of foul play swirl, especially with the fiercely competitive Honeychurch Challenge Cup just around the corner. Sabotage has already struck: someone let a herd of goats loose in the village allotments, devouring prized floral entries.
Then, Eric asks Kat to value his bride-to-be's antique Etruscan engagement ring, only to learn it was historically used to administer poison—an ominous choice for love. And when a second body is discovered, it becomes clear that secrets, sabotage, and old grudges are bubbling to the surface and naturally, Kat must step in to save the day.
Newsletter Sign-Ups
I'm embarrassed (yes, I know, STILL) to admit that I still haven't corrected the newsletter signup debacle. My MailChimp account was hacked - I thought it was too good to be true to have 30 new subscribers every day ... sure enough, MailChimp informed me it was a rogue bot. Don't worry, the emails were a bizarre mixture of letters and numbers so no security breach. For now, please email me directly at hannah@hannahdennison.com and I will manually add your name.
Stay in Touch
I love hearing from you and reply personally (no rogue bot!)—though it may take a few days! You can reach me via email or on social media.
Until next time,
Hannah
