~Blog Tour~ Howl by Brittney Dussault (Fun Facts and GIVEAWAY!!)

Posted by BookGroupies

After an archeology expedition gone wrong, Lis Santiago is assigned a desk job at The Library, an underground archive dedicated to the history and study of supernatural creatures. Run by humans, the joke about The Library is that it’s operated by people who know everything about magic… except how to use it. Lis is no exception, and after three years, she’s finally accepted her new, albeit lackluster, career.

Then a request is made: Supernatural creatures in the area have gone missing, and the Alpha from the local werewolf pack wants a Librarian to aid in the investigation. But he doesn’t want just any Librarian, he wants Lis. Accepting means time away from her desk, but it also means having to be paired up with old partner Jonas Highet, who left her waiting for him in Italy five years ago. This isn’t the reunion she had in mind, but when the Alpha calls, it’s hard to say no. Lis quickly wishes she had. The Alpha already has a suspect, he just needs Lis to convict him… even if there’s no proof he’s guilty. But the Alpha’s sister thinks her brother’s scapegoat- a wolf named Mickey Kaiser- is innocent, and she wants Lis to prove it. Caught between a pair of siblings known for their cunning ways, Lis is going to have to find out what’s so special about Mickey Kaiser, while simultaneously keeping Jonas from killing the man. And just when Lis starts dreaming about her desk job, the first body is found. It’s unlike anything Lis has seen before.

Fun Facts:

• Howl’s main character was originally Kieran Roden, a young Irish girl who’d never worked outside the Library before. But then she became Lis, a Puerto Rican woman based on a real life friend, and the whole story changed.

• In the original version of Howl, Alpha Kazarian had a daughter. The daughter was replaced by Kazarian’s sister, Inez, and her son, Jonas.

• Like many books nowadays, the premise of Howl was inspired by a bizarre dream and I’m never eating cheese before bed again.

• Kit was originally human, but was made into a fox as a nod to a friend’s love of foxes.

• Mick’s name comes from Mick Rawson, a character on Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, because attractive Welshmen are a weakness of mine.

Brittney Dussault is the author of over a dozen titles, including Howl and The Banewood Chronicles. When she’s not churning out a new book every 2-3 months, she’s helping others realize their dreams of being published authors. Cupcakes keep her going and she’s determined to put herself on a Best Sellers list one day.
