Kate Hardy

Thank you! X

Thank you x

text shows the cover of four novels by Kate Hardy - Rookery Barn, Ice House, Stage and Lighthouse, all with stormy skies and buildings to match the titles, plus the words 'discover the series now'

Given that Storm Bert is on its way, it's a little too much for me to resist remarking that my heroine's dog (and an important member of the team) in my cozy crime series for Storm is called Bert...
But in all seriousness, I hope everyone stays safe and warm over the weekend xxx

This is SUCH a lovely place. Everywhere I look people are talking books, music and biscuits. No snarkiness. Very glad I decided to come here :) (I have been looking at a list of biscuit connoisseurs. I have suggested Border's butterscotch crunch as Top Biscuit Choice... and now I really want one!)

1. Border's butterscotch crunch (aka thin shortbreads with chunks of butterscotch - discovered them this year and they are mindblowingly good on deadline days)
2. Fox's chocolate viennese fingers
3. Gingernuts

Lockdown recipe: lime drizzle cake Easy recipe – takes 35-45 mins cooking + 15 mins prep. Can swap limes for lemon or orange, or a mix. Makes 12 slices (works out at 8 weightwatchers points a slice) Ingredients: 75ml vegetable…

So I convinced myself it was world vegan day today (it isn't) and shared a recipe for one of my daughter's favourite cakes (she's vegan). But y'know? It's chilly here in Norwich and that's an excuse for cake. Here's the link from my (neglected) blog www.katehardy.com/2020/04/22/l...

🤣 Funnily enough we went to the pet shop this afternoon to buy their presents to other pets! x

Thank you xxx

Thank you! xx

The Edit-paw-ial Assistants would like to remind me that I have a deadline and a new outline to sort…

So glad you're enjoying it! xx

Thank you - me, too! (I am being VERY paranoid with the FitBit at the moment) x

And, with my romance writer hat on, this is the next release (next month - if you like slightly older characters, this one's for you)

Well, hello, Bluesky! (Anyone else want to burst into an Irving Berlin tune, or is that just me being weird because we actually have blue skies for the first time in ages?)
