Book Cover Design Brief

I need a cover for my Kindle ebook and 5 x 8 paperback, Happier as Werewolves: A Comedy. It’s a humor novel set in America’s heartland about a guy fresh out of college who stumbles onto a town full of werewolves. It’s funny but not wacky—a paranormal coming of age story. Should be cheeky but not look like pie-in-the-face humor.

FRONT COVER should include:

Happier as Werewolves: A Comedy
Andrew Heaton

BACK COVER should include:

Happier as Werewolves: A Comedy
Andrew Heaton

Fresh out of college and armed with a research grant, Saul Heinrich heads to the backwoods of his home state to look for Bigfoot. While camping near his grandfather’s vineyard he learns that the forest is populated by wolves—unusually clever ones. He discovers a nearby town where malt shops, milkmen, and the 1950’s never stopped. Along with his lecherous grandfather and mysterious girlfriend, Saul must navigate wolfmen and gun-toting rednecks to discover the secret uniting an entire town to werewolves.


“Probably the funniest paranormal coming of age novel to come out since that awful paperback about shiny vampires with mood swings.”
– The Clarion Bugle

“None of the awkward sex scenes in this book indicate that Andrew Heaton has ever actually had sex. I liked the stuff about werewolves, though.”
– The Creekside Gazette

“Reads like Garrison Keillor retelling something Stephen King cranked out before he sobered up.”
– Einhart Reviews
