The Wilder Widows

2020

Four widows. Four wishes. One wild adventure. When Sylvie’s husband passed away, she’d barely hung her black dress back in the closet when three widows on Wilder Lane showed up on her doorstep. Who had time to properly mourn when an adventure spanning the globe awaited her? After putting their own needs on the back burner to raise their families, Sylvie, Doris, Alice, and Marge struggle to find purpose now that their children are grown, and their husbands are gone. Loneliness pushes them together while they knit away the rest of their days. Then one night, a whiskey-filled pact catapults these ladies onto the adventure of a lifetime. Each widow gets one wish, one wild adventure, she’s dreamed of doing her whole life. With their wishes tucked away on notes inside their knitting basket, they pull them out, one at a time, vowing to do whatever it takes to help each other fulfill their wildest desires. Hilarity ensues as these four diverse women stretch their boundaries to go where no widows have gone before. They stare death in the face, have cops hot on their tail, and shed away the responsibilities they’ve shouldered their whole lives. The Wilder Widows soon find out their lives aren’t over... in fact, in this second act, their lives are just beginning.

The Wilder Widows

Wilder Ever After

2022

Four Widows. Four Wishes. One Wild Adventure... Again. The Wilder Widows are back and wilder than ever! After completing their first set of wishes, Sylvie, Doris, Marge, and Alice reunite to fulfill their promise to each other. They must continue their new Wilder Widows annual tradition. Each widow gets one wish—one wild adventure—she’s dreamed of doing her whole life. The fabulous foursome will do anything and everything to help one another accomplish these lofty goals. Despite barely surviving their first attempt at satisfying their heart’s desire, they go for round two with unmatched courage and gusto. Lots has changed for these four diverse women since they catapulted around the globe together, but one thing remains steadfast and true... their love for one another. With their newfound lease on life urging them on, the Wilder Widows set off once again on an epic journey together to push their boundaries and check a few more of those bucket list boxes as they push through their fears to hopefully make it back alive! The Wilder Wilder Ever After is the second book in the Wilder Widows duet and is meant to be read after the first book. Please note, the author had no control over what the Wilder Widows said and did, and was only a spectator of their journey as she scrambled to write it down. They can get a bit mouthy at times, so the author apologizes if any of the widows say or do anything to offend you.

Author · 15 books

USA Today bestselling author Katherine Hastings loves love. It’s why she writes romance novels that stretch across different genres. Historical. Contemporary. Paranormal. Romantic Suspense. Though the genres may change, in every story you'll find passion, adventure, and romance. And usually a little humor, too. When she’s not writing, she can be found at her home in Wisconsin snuggling her husband, two Boston Terriers, and the world’s naughtiest cat. If she’s not snuggling her beloveds or writing in the house, she’s most often outside playing with her four horses, her seven ducks or her two Sebastopol geese. That’s right. She has quite an assortment of fur and feather children! The only other thing that makes her as happy as her funny little family is floating at the beach in her big inflatable raft. Writing her novels while floating in the lake is one of her ultimate pleasures... that and Fried Wisconsin Cheese Curds, of course.
