Praise for I,
Iago: “This is an astonishing work of imaginative empathy, buttressed by
deep research and enriched by lively
storytelling...Galland takes one of Shakespeare’s
most enigmatic characters and creates a full
life for him, sweeping the reader into
the vibrant world of Venetian intrigue and the
carrying us, also, to the deep places
of the human heart.” — Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author
|
From the author of The Fool’s Tale and I,
Iago comes a disarmingly charming and warm-hearted “romcom” about a woman,
her dog, and the man who has to prove he’s good enough for both of them.

GALLAND’S STEPDOG (on sale
August 8, 2015; ISBN 9780062369475; $14.99) Sara Renault fires Rory O’Connor
from his part-time job at a Boston art museum, and in response, Rory—an Irish
actor secretly nursing a crush on his beautiful boss—throws caution to the wind,
leans over, and kisses her. Now Sara and
Rory are madly in love.
When Rory’s visa runs out on the cusp of his big
Hollywood break, Sara insists that he marry her to get a green card. In a
matter of weeks they’ve gone from being friendly work colleagues to a live-in
couple, and it’s all grand . . . except for Sara’s dog, Cody, who had been a
gift from Sara’s sociopath ex-boyfriend. Sara’s over-attachment to her dog is
the only thing she and Rory fight about.
When Rory scores both his green card and the
lead role in an upcoming TV pilot, he and Sara (and Cody) prepare to move to
Los Angeles. But just before their departure, Cody is kidnapped by Sara’s
ex—and it is entirely Rory’s fault. Sara is furious and broken-hearted.
Desperate to get back into Sara’s good graces, Rory takes off and tracks Cody
and the dog-napper to North Carolina. Can Rory rescue Cody and convince Sara
that they belong together—with Cody—as a family? First they’ll need to survive
a madcap adventure that takes them all across the heartland of America. STEPDOG
is a refreshing and hilarious romantic comedy that asks: How far
would you go for the one you love?
