“The 24-Hour Howl crackles with a voice so creative and alive that you want to live inside the book. Lanie Lanawits is spectacularly funny, and then, when you least expect it, she breaks your heart wide open... and you'll love her for it. An absolute triumph.”

—Nina Lane, NYT bestselling author of The Deal Maker

 

WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR A BFF ON HIS WORST DAY?

 

Childhood sweethearts Tess and Ford belong to a secret society that helps people in tragedy with an ancient Celtic ritual known as howling—one day of highly supervised lunacy.

 

IF THE ANSWER ISN’T “ANYTHING,” DON’T HOWL.

 

Ford helped Tess howl not so long ago, and she hoped to return the favor, but the notorious Kia dumping him on Valentine’s Eve is not the “tragedy” Tess had in mind. Neither is working with the uninitiated stranger he insists on bringing along.

 

ONCE IT STARTS, EVERYONE IS ON THE HOOK.

 

Tess, the talented seeker grappling with a midlife ADHD diagnosis. Ford, the grieving new age minister with mysterious methods. Terry, the hot, spiritually curious Ivy League guy Ford just met. They’re risking it all to get Ford from New Mexico to Montana for a sled race he claims will restore his soul. It would be so much easier if they weren’t all hiding something.

​

ADVENTURE THERAPY CAN BE TRICKY!

​

Love or hate Valentine’s Day, The 24-Hour Howl puts the romp back in rom-com with cathartic laughter, steamy encounters, the worst love song ever improvised, and a seed of hope that kindness is making a comeback. It also adds optimistic neurodiversity representation to the genre.
