Top 10 Bestseller List
This weekend, "The Ex Lottery" ranked in the top ten of Amazon's free Kindle Bestseller List for Contemporary Romance Fiction. The novel is also ranked in the top 50 in the Kindle free store.
Today is the last day of the free Kindle promotion for "The Ex Lottery" so I hope you'll download the ebook and read it——and review it. :)
Yes, I know, a free promotion means I don't make money this weekend, and some authors and publishers frown upon such an offer. But I actually find myself downloading free books from authors I would have never read without such a promotion. After such an introduction, I read more of their novels. I'm actually excited that thousands of people are now reading my book. Plus, if you like it, maybe you'll tell your friends. My own personal happily-ever-after.
"The Ex Lottery" is about a woman who gives up on love then wins the lottery using the dates her ex-boyfriends dumped her. She travels to Ireland where she must decide if the men chasing her are in it for love or are they simply romancing the numbers.
"The Ex Lottery" won First Place in Contemporary Romance in the Chick Lit Writers' Get Your Stiletto in the Door Contest. And I've received the following reviews too, but I want to hear from romance readers everywhere.
A review from a Writer's Digest Contest stated “The Ex Lottery is a charming and lively contemporary romance… Tory is a beautifully crafted and compelling character, a woman who has been bruised by love in many ways but remains, at the core, optimistic, even if it takes her a while to get there. The secondary characters are well-drawn and fully realized in their own rights, and Shane is a really wonderfully sexy love interest… Overall, a very strong book and this author has a bright future in contemporary romance," Judge, 22nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
Kirkus Reviews called it "A light, uplifting romance that's equal parts comedy, fairy tale and travelogue." Kirkus Reviews also featured the review in its magazine.
So if you need a light, fun modern Irish fairy tale to read for the holidays, I hope you'll add my book to your list. And I hope you enjoy happily-ever-after as much as I do.

Chatelaine Contemporary Romance Award Winner
THE EX LOTTERY won First Place in Contemporary Romance in the CHATELAINE AWARDS for Women’s Fiction and Romance Novels, a division of Chanticleer Blue Ribbon Writing Competitions. To celebrate, I'll be attending the Chanticleer Authors Conference & Awards Banquet in Bellingham, Washington. What a beautiful location for a conference. Can't wait. Maybe I'll see you there.
The Ex Lottery Is Now An Audiobook
The Ex Lottery, the winner of three first-place contemporary romance awards, is now available as an audiobook. The narrator is Eva Kaminsky who has recorded over 150 books and been nominated for the AUDIE award in romance. I took my time picking the perfect narrator. Eva does an amazing job, and you will fall in love with her Irish accents.
