Works edit
Daily is an author of both fiction and non-fiction. Her first book, Stop Getting Dumped! (2002) was a bestseller in both the US and UK.[citation needed] It is her best known book. Her first novel, Fifteen Minutes of Shame (2008) is a romantic comedy about a dating expert who finds out on national television that her husband is filing for divorce. It won the Romantic Times Chick Lit Novel Award [3] and Publishers Weekly said it delivered "surprising depth and a heroine with heart to root for.".[4] This book was optioned for film by screenwriter Stephen Susco.[5]
Beauty (2012) is her second novel, which tells the story of a girl who wishes to be beautiful, and the next morning wakes up to find she's the most beautiful girl in Miracle, Ohio. But her wish comes with a price. The book was translated into German,[6] Swedish,[7] Norwegian[8] and Finnish[9] languages.
Dating expert edit
Daily has appeared as the Relationships editor on the syndicated morning show Daytime ever since Valentine’s Day, 2006. She gives advice to parents, men and women, and is consulted by various media.[10] She has also written relationship columns for the Huffington Post,[11] Lavalife[12] (a Canadian dating site), and her own dating advice blog.
At her dating advice blog, Stop Getting Dumped, she frequently covers issues in more depth than she is able to cover on her segment on Daytime.[13] In 2005 she appeared as herself on Hitch: The Dating Experts, a feature filmed for the DVD release of the film Hitch, which starred Will Smith.[14]
