Gabrielle Landi

Hello! I’m Gabrielle Landi, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I live in Southern Indiana with my husband and three children, and I have a soft spot for every stray cat that ends up on my front porch. When I’m not writing, I spend my time chasing my kiddos, wishing there was more coffee, and eating chocolate like it’s my job. 😂

I write books with:
Sweet, swoon-worthy romances with no sexual content.
Loving families, whether biological or found family.
Adorable animals with all the love in their hearts.
Cinnamon roll heroes who fall hard and fast for their girl.

Since I can’t live inside a cozy fantasy world with my own Hallmark movie plot, I write them–books full of swoony tropes, with all the whimsical vibes inspired by my childhood favorites, from Ella Enchanted to Ever After. 

I started with The Galamere Chronicles, a series of interconnected standalones inspired by some of my favorite fairy tales, with adorable animal companions from baby goats to baby dragons.

And my next two books are in two different multi-author series, and while they can be read completely standalone, they are set in the same world as my other books and have character cameos!

Beastly Dreams is a Sleeping Beauty x Beauty and the Beast mashup with a grumpy tavern owner, his sunshine-y bar maid, and the sleeping curse that traps them in his tavern with his adorable dog, Beastie. 

And I can’t say much about the second book, but I can say that it’s part of the Enchanting Confections multi-author series, and it’s an adorably sweet friends to love romance with a side of fake dating! 😉

Tales of Cake and Comfort

Tales of Cake and Comfort is a cozy fantasy omnibus combining two previously published novellas with additional bonus chapters. It follows Thea Greene from a royal baking competition in the city to starting her own café in the Northlands. Along the way she finds romance, new friends, and a faithful companion in her orange cat, Ginger.

Once Upon A Cake

A baker’s daughter, their new employee, and a royal baking competition.

Nathaniel Alder is finally getting his chance to explore the big city, but things aren’t the same as back home. With barely enough coins to pay his way for three days, he’s looking for work–and as a cake nearly falls into him, he may have fallen into a job.

Winning the chance to provide the cake for a royal event is Thea Greene’s main aspiration right now–although avoiding her mother’s matchmaking is a close second. When a cheerful young man prevents her from dropping their competition cake and destroying her first goal, she finds herself in danger of failing the second…and as the baking competition goes on and Nat become part of their world, it’s becoming harder to remember why she wanted to avoid it in the first place.

Once Upon A Cake is a grumpy/sunshine, gender-swapped Little Mermaid fairy tale retelling novella.

Once Upon A Café

A cozy café, a determined woman, and the kitten that loves them both.

Lost and alone in a bitter snowstorm, the tiny orange kitten has no home, no food, and no name, until she’s scooped up by the new arrival in town, Thea. Snuggled into warm, loving arms for the first time, she’s given the name Ginger, and the two of them set out to make Thea’s dream of owning a café a reality.

But the local tavern owner is determined to have no competition in town, and Thea’s persistence may not be enough to carry them through. Can Thea and Ginger make the Cozy Cat Café come to life, or will they be forced to leave the safe haven of the Northlands?

Once Upon A Café is a cozy fantasy novella in the Galamere Chronicles told from the point of view of a cat.

Roan and Abigail Puzzle

In Tales of Cake and Comfort I introduce Roan, Nat’s older brother.
When I asked my readers “which characters do you want me to write more about,” they answered:

Anyone but Roan!!

About that…

As a consolation prize, enjoy this swoony artwork of Roan and Abigail from Beastly Dreams.

Once Upon An Apple

A lord’s son, a milkmaid, and seven mischievous goats.

After running from her past, Sophia built a new life for herself in the Northlands, taking a job as a milkmaid for the local nobility and creating her own family with the friends she meets at the Cozy Cat Café. She spends her days spoiling the goats and finally feels safe, but something is still missing. She wants more than just safety–she wants love and a real family of her own.

Lord Caspian Rendon has returned home to–in his Father’s words, get serious–and contemplate his life’s path. As a third son, he doesn’t have much other than his title–and while the past two years of training in the Royal Guard have set him up for a potential career, they haven’t done much in the way of finding him a wealthy wife, which had always seemed the more appealing option of the two.

When he runs into the beautiful, sweet, and always kind Sophia taking care of his little sister’s goats, he begins to realize there’s more to life than marrying into wealth. As the baby goats, a mischievous little sister, and Fall Festival planning keep bringing Caspian and Sophia together, he starts to fall for the goat girl. But when Sophia’s mysterious past finally catches up with her, Caspian must make a hard choice … Can he risk it all for love, or will he never see her again?

Once Upon An Apple is a Snow White fairytale retelling and the first book in the Galamere Chronicles.

Once Upon A Rose

A cursed lord, a feisty librarian, and their disguised pet dragon.

Being the first librarian in their small town is everything Beatrice Montgomery has ever dreamed of–except no one in town knows what to make of her, or the library. But spending her days surrounded by books is an occupation beyond her wildest dreams, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make the library a success.

Lord Alexander Dunham’s time is running out. Providing for his estate and the people dependent on him before his curse ruins his life is his first priority–and that means he needs a wife, immediately. Proposing a marriage of convenience to the feisty librarian seems like the perfect plan: he gets a wife, she gets funds for her library, and the sorcerer trying to steal his estate gets nothing.

Even with his lips sealed about the curse, a transforming dragon watching his every move, and a wife who’s winning over everyone on their estate, their marriage of convenience should have solved all of Alexander’s problems. Unfortunately, he’s falling for his wife, and it’s causing a new problem: he’s no longer willing to die. Can Alexander and Beatrice outwit the most powerful sorcerer in the Northlands, or will Beatrice lose the man she’s growing to love?

Once Upon A Rose is a Beauty and the Beast fairytale retelling and the second book in the Galamere Chronicles.
