Hi Karin, thanks for this and it's a really good idea, I'll do it right away (or once I figure out how to!) As you might have guessed I love the writing but am trying to figure out everything else bit by bit.
I really appreciate this and hope you like the books! Ovidia

Hi Erin, thanks for asking this question! The confusion is largely my fault, I'm afraid. I started with the 'Crown Colony trilogy' but then when the Japanese Occupation started and I was lucky enough to continue the books, Singapore was no longer a Crown Colony so I think your suggestion of 'Tree Mystery Series' works best to cover all the books. I'm going to start using that myself, thank you very much! Ovidia

Hi Jocelyn, I'm working on the book after the Yellow Rambutan Tree now--and thank you very much!

Thanks for asking, Germaine! I really hope so, but I'm afraid it's out of my hands... the audio people will consider if it's worth the $$ of producing them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they will.

Hi Kathleen, to be honest I've no idea--but thank you very much for asking and I'll pass your query on to my publisher!

I certainly hope so, sadly I haven’t been able to get a publisher interested… yet. But thanks for asking, you’re encouraging me to go on trying!

Dear Ivonne, sorry I didn't see your question sooner! I would love to write more Miss Moorthy novels but unfortunately the publishers weren't so keen--I think worried they wouldn't have appeal beyond Singapore. But your asking about dear Miss Moorthy made me very happy so Thank You very much!

Hi Eden, that’s a great question! I love family trees and I'm surprised I never thought of working Su Lin's out on paper. I was playing with a chart tracking her descendants for a present day book, but haven’t decided how/if it's going to work out! Thank you very much for bringing this up!

Hi Hilary and Thank You for your kind words! Yes, there's a new Crown Colony book just out—it's the main reason I've taken so long to reply to your message! I really hope you'll like The Betel Nut Tree Mystery!

Hi BV, Thank you for ordering! Yes everything is good. I met Kathy A in Bouchercon last year and we talked about how much we missed your posts! (haven't been back to the site for a Long time. Are you still there)
