Hi Jane, your first bullet point is incorrect—it’s actually sales of Canadian Romance titles (i.e., written by Canadian authors) that increased by 640 percent over the last five years. This was driven largely by a few popular Canadian Romance authors like Carley Fortune, Brynne Weaver, and Elle Kennedy.

Awesome! Thanks for your quick response.
