July 14th is my birthday. (I'm going to be 38. I can't quite believe that.) "Seven Exes Are Eight Too Many" became available on Amazon.com in paper - first time for one of my novels! - in July as well. So it seems like a great opportunity to... give three of YOU a present.Yes, I have three copies of "Seven"'s paper edition to give away. I will sign these books, and maybe some day they'll be worth a fortune! I'm willing to send these anywhere on the planet, and will also give the winners an electronic copy if they would like one, so they will never be without the book. (Like a stalker, only more entertaining to read!)
Here's a summary of the story:
The fiercely private Madeleine-Cora Spencer is the last person who should be on a reality TV show, but when she's shunned by a friend's new wife because "you can't trust desperate single women" her pain and humiliation drive her straight to the "Find Your Prince" dating show's web site.Armed with date-appropriate clothes and a detailed game plan she arrives to meet her potential loves, only to be dumped... on a remote island with seven ex-boyfriends.
Seven exes! Could this be any worse?

No need to enter me, darling (I've got a TBR that is so scarily out of control, I may die before I've solved that problem). I'm dropping in to say thanks for the e-mail. I've got this posted at Win a Book for you.
I'd have fun with 7 exes! I'm one of the weird ones who stays friendly with my exes so if I ran into them we'd share a nice hello and some laughs. This sounds like a fun book!

Hahahaha....my worst ex couldn't deal with the fact that we had broken up and sat outside of my house for hours one day in the pouring rain! He was wearing this really creepy trenchcoat too- my parents were less than impressed! Thanks for the chance to win this one- it looks like a lot of fun!

My worst ex has become a joke to me and one of my best friends after a while. And for some reason, it annoys me that he's on Facebook and friends with my friends, even though we got closure years ago.
I'm interested in reading this book! I also have a birthday this month. :)

My birthday is in December, and I live in Vancouver. And I don't ski. So my favourite way to spend my birthday was the year we went snorkelling in Mexico. I'd never had my bathing suit on on my birthday before.
I don't Twitter, but I'm reading Polar Bear Tattoo right now, and will review it at Goodreads (where I'm adventurat) when I'm done!
I'd luv to win your book and Happy Birthday. My b-day is the ides of March. Scary, huh. :) But I still luv celebrating. :D
Susie, my birthday is Bastille Day. :) But fortunately I don't live in France so it's okay. :)
I'm so thrilled with all the entries so far. Thanks, all! :)
my fav way for my birthday is to read and lay about and eat all kinds of foods I normally don't, like chicken wings and toffee candy. It makes that one day stand out. Then in the evening to talk about books with someone else who loves books, what could be better?
Sounds like a fantastic book! I can't wait to read it!
tweeted it!
I became a facebook fan!
I can't wait to read this book!
I read your first book and loved it! I cant comment about exes because I was lucky to meet my husband of 28 years when I moved next door to him when I was 16! I cant wait to read your new book and would love to have a signed copy!
