My darling gentle reader I am delighted to announce the cover art for Romancing the Werewolf!
Cover photo © Jim Vetter Photography, assembled by the amazing Starla Huchton.
Man I didn’t make it easy on Starla this time! Although I gave her the most adorable boys to work with, (Aren’t they the cutest? Thank you Jim!) the rest of her dossier on this cover was rough. (Yes, there is a reason Lyall’s hair is long.)
I wanted this cover to say “cozy” and “holidays” as well as all the usual Gail stuff. I wanted red (which can cause some issues, as red & black are hard on the eyes) and it needed to tie to the other book in this series: Romancing the Inventor.
Didn’t she do the most wonderful job?
I just adore this cover. Looking at it makes me smile like a mad woman. I’m really hoping that reading it has the same effect.
For those who have asked, Lyall is wearing a Dark Garden corset waistcoat called the Beau Brummell.
Coming November 5, 2017!
Here’s the official blurb:
Werewolf in trouble…
Biffy, newly minted Alpha of the London Pack, is not having a good Christmas. His Beta abandoned him, his werewolves object to his curtain choices, and someone keeps leaving babies on his doorstep.
Professor Randolph Lyall returns home to London after twenty years abroad, afraid of what he might find. With his pack in chaos and his Alpha in crisis, it will take all his Beta efficiency to set everything to rights. Perhaps, in the process, he may even determine how to mend his own heart.
Yours in mad smiles,
Miss Gail
{Coop de Book: Gail’s monthly read along for September 2017 is The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia McKillip.}

Swoon… Pre-ordered!
Hooray! So excited you like it.
Hurrah! Lyall is so neat…long hair sounds odd with him – perhaps to start a new fashion? 😉
And I wrote a bit of poetry about Sidheag – “Shall I compare thee to a thistle, my Lady Alpha?
Thou art as prickly and yet more spikey”…….please continue (I thought of Shakespeare).
Ooh! A random thought – was Lord A in any way inspired by the weird and wacky dress of David Bowie? (or was it the other way around?). I think I asked the FB folk ages ago, but I’ve left, so….
Perhaps a little bit…
Hurrah!
