The Haunting of Hattie Hastings
The Haunting of Hattie Hastings Part One:
Some people just won't take death lying down … ! (NB:
cliffhanger ending).
Part one of a fun-filled
trilogy about life, death and letting go.
Hattie Hastings is
happily married, even if husband Gary drives her up the wall at times. When
tragedy strikes, she is left alone and heartbroken, with only an assortment of
family and friends to prop her up.
Struggling to cope, she
is left reeling when her deceased other half returns, popping up at the most
inappropriate times.
Hattie can't convince
anyone that Gary has returned. Not even best friend Cat – now free from the
cruel and controlling Stewart – will believe her.
Why has Gary returned?
And what will Cat do when her slimy ex-husband tries to worm his way back into
her affections?
The Haunting of Hattie
Hastings will make you laugh, cry and count down until Part Two …
About Audrey Davis
Scottish-born
Audrey studied journalism in Edinburgh more decades ago than she cares to
admit. She cut her writing teeth on provincial newspapers (using a typewriter)
and a London-based video magazine (another sign of her advanced years).
Engagement to
her now-husband Bill took them to Singapore, Australia and Buckinghamshire,
England, before they settled in Switzerland in 2002. Along the way they had two
boys, both all grown-up and living in the UK.
Her journey
to becoming a published author began with an online Writing Fiction course. It
took well over a year but, in June 2017, Audrey published her debut romantic
comedy novel, A Clean Sweep. It was quickly followed by a shorter and darker
prequel, A Clean Break.
The idea for
The Haunting of Hattie Hastings came from nowhere, just a random title that
popped into her head and from there grew into Part One of a trilogy. It comes
under the same genre, but has some poignant scenes and – hopefully – lots of
laughs! Audrey admits to being a worrier, and has always used humour as a defence
mechanism, as her friends will attest.
When Audrey
isn’t writing, she loves shows like The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and
Strictly Come Dancing (a strange mix, she knows). Her interests include cooking
(and eating pretty much anything apart from oysters), travelling and going to
the gym. OK, the last one is mainly to compensate for her passion for food!
Audrey would
describe herself as a ‘pantser’ rather than a ‘planner’, preferring to run
where a story takes her and scribble copious notes along the way. She’d love to
write a page-turning thriller, but fears her natural tendency to see the comic
side of life might be an obstacle.
