Little Known Book Hits #1 on Humor Bestseller List in Canada!
'God is a Woman: Dating Disasters-

CHICAGO -- Comedian Ian Coburn re-lives his funniest dating disasters in the irreverent, edgy and hilarious book 'God is a Woman: Dating Disasters,- providing comic relief for the dating weary and valuable tips for the

dating confused. On July 23rd, 2007, the book hit #1 on Amazon.ca's bestseller humor list and still holds there today. 'God is a Woman- was officially released on Valentine's Day, 2007.

What makes this accolade remarkable is that the book is published by a new, unheard of publishing company, Firefly Glow Publishing. Coburn's is their first book. Because both Coburn and Firefly Glow are virtual unknowns, the book did not receive any traditional media coverage -- no New York Times review, no Publishers Weekly, no Today Show. Coburn isn't a popular blogger and he has almost no Internet following.

How did an unknown writer and unknown publisher team up to reach #1? Quality, tenacity, and originality. The book appeals to a broad audience and has a unique, welcome approach. Unlike most dating books, Coburn opens up about his hilarious dating failures. Each story concludes with invaluable lessons learned. Readers love it for its stories or for its stories and advice. The book appeals to both genders, of various age groups. Coburn also weaves in celebrity stories, such as the night he was fooling around in his mother's car when he was supposed to be leading Drew Carey off the stage.

Readers have been the real force behind the book's success and Coburn is very grateful. 'They've been talking about it in reviews of other books on Amazon, giving it good reviews, blogging about it, discussing it on message boards. I'm very fortunate and very grateful.- In truth, Coburn has also done a lot for the book by continuing to offer himself as an expert for various articles on subjects from dating to comedy to publishing. He also continues to write articles on these subjects for various mediums.

Coburn, a Duo-Citizen of Canada and the U.S., holds the entertainment industry-record for performing 106 straight weeks on the road. The book has landed him a dating advice column entitled 'Lunch is Not a Date,- which he hopes to syndicate. He has started a blog and posted standup stories and excerpted stories from the book on the book's site, www.godisawoman.net. Coburn is available for interviews and appearances. Copies of the book are available for review.
