ABOUT THE AUTHOR
H.Y. HANNA WAS BORN in Taiwan and has been a globe-trotter most of her life, from growing up in the United Arab Emirates to attending school in New Jersey, from working in the glamorous world of London advertising to emigrating Down Under. Along the way, she somehow managed to pick up a wonderful husband, a huge, slobbery dog, two rescue cats, an assortment of cardboard boxes and a slightly dodgy "trans-atlantic" accent.
After graduating from Oxford University, she tried her hand at a variety of jobs before returning to her first love: writing. She is the author of the award-winning children's mystery series, BIG HONEY DOG MYSTERIES, and also writes mysteries for adults. Always fascinated by dogs, she specialised as a pet writer for magazines in the UK, Australia and NZ, and has been heavily involved in training, behaviour, dog sports and photography.
