NEW RELEASE
MILLIE AND MABEL'S AFTERLIFE ADVENTURE: SPECTRAL SLEUTHS
Set in a vibrant American city, this paranormal cozy mystery blends FBI crime scenes, heavenly hijinks, and spectral sleuthing in a race that stretches from the mortal world to the gates of Heaven.
Death was not supposed to derail their fun.
Mabel and Millie have been causing havoc together for decades, and they are not about to let a little thing like death stop them. Bored with Heaven’s endless perfection, these two lifelong troublemakers hatch a plan to sneak back to Earth for some good old-fashioned haunting. But their spectral shenanigans take an unexpected turn when they stumble straight into an FBI investigation for a vicious serial killer.
Enter Sarah Sadler, a brilliant but struggling FBI agent who can see and hear them thanks to a recent near-death experience that almost wrecked her career. As the body count rises, Millie and Mabel realise that solving crimes is far more interesting than causing trouble, especially when they have unique ghostly talents to help Agent Sadler crack the case.
With time running out and lives on the line, this unlikely trio must learn to work together across the boundaries of life and death to catch a murderer before they strike again.
Perfect for fans of Mary Janice Davidson’s Undead series and the sharp humour of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, this afterlife mystery blends laugh-out-loud mischief, female friendship, and fast-paced serial killer suspense with a supernatural twist.
PREORDER THE NEW WILDER WIDOWS BOOK!
Releasing September 9, 2026
Sylvie, Doris, Marge, and Alice gather for their fourth annual wish drawing, armed with their traditional bottle of whiskey and the knitting basket that holds their hopes for another year of adventure. But before they can choose their next wild wishes, Alice drops a bombshell: she has breast cancer.
With treatment due to begin in just two weeks, Alice plans to sit this year’s adventure out. The widows have other ideas. No woman left behind. A little cancer isn’t about to stop the Wilder Widows from making memories.
Marge proposes one final wish before treatment begins, and Alice knows exactly what she wants: to celebrate the body that has carried her through life with a trip to Mardi Gras.
What follows is a riotous RV road trip packed with bad decisions, belly laughs, and unforgettable moments. As the miles roll by, the widows are reminded why they keep fighting—for more adventures, more laughter, and more of the wonderfully messy life they’ve built together.
Because when you’re facing the fight of your life, there’s nothing more powerful than friends who refuse to let you face it alone.
Born to be Wilder is the heartwarming and hilarious fourth book in Katherine Hastings’ award-winning Wilder Widows series, where Golden Girls-style friendship meets bucket-list chaos in a feel-good women’s fiction adventure full of found family, later-in-life courage, road-trip mischief, and four widows proving it’s never too late to live wildly.
