The Haunting of Hattie Hastings

A heartwarming romantic comedy with a ghostly twist.

About

A ghostly and gloriously witty romantic comedy – Some people just won’t take death lying down …

Hattie Hastings is happily married to lifelong sweetheart Gary, until a terrible tragedy leaves her widowed and heartbroken. Struggling to cope, she is left reeling when her deceased other half returns, popping up at the most inappropriate moments.

As Hattie tries to convince others – including brother Jack, and best friend Cat – that Gary is back, he finds himself under the care of spirit guide Clarence, and also befriends another young inhabitant of the place called The Present.

Meanwhile, Hattie’s mum Rachel is facing a daunting battle, and Cat’s ex-husband Stewart is determined to prove he deserves a second chance.

Throw in a tentative spot of dating for Hattie, and you have all the ingredients for a book described as ‘brilliant’, ‘hilarious’ and ‘a great feel-good read.’

Praise for Hattie Hastings:

‘There is nothing ordinary with this book. It is a fabulous blend of fun and sadness. One minute I was smiling and the next I had to put it down as I couldn’t see past the tears in my eyes.’

‘Absolutely loved this! Funny down-to-earth characters, great pace and flawless flowing writing style.’
