Nicole Galland's five previous novels are The Fool's Tale; Revenge of the Rose; Crossed; I, Iago, and Godiva. She writes a cheeky etiquette column for the Martha's Vineyard Times. She is married to actor Billy Meleady and owns Leuco, a dog of splendid qualities.

"Romantic comedies may be Galland's new specialty. Readers who have furry best friends will totally gravitate to this tale of a woman's love for her dog." -- RT Book Reviews "Nicole Galland has written the most delightful rollicking comedy of a book...Stepdog is pure genius." -- Susan Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of The Dog Who Saved Me and One Good Dog "Stepdog is an exciting, very funny, and uncommonly kind book. It's a 'curl up with a good book' book and, like Albert Payson Terhune's classic tales, Nicole Galland's Stepdog puts the dog exactly where she belongs: at the center of the human heart." -- Donal McCaig, author of Nop's Trials and Eminent Dogs, Dangerous Men "A lovely, funny novel about a typical romance, complete with immigration bureaucrats, psychopathic exes, fiddle music, moonshine, articulate biker gangs, rat poison, cross-country chases, literal cliffhangers, and the most adorable dog since Benji. You know, just like your relationship." -- Peter Sagal, Host, NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!
