You: Will other vendors offer the book free?
Christina Dodd: I don’t think so. Luckily, you don’t need a Kindle ereader to read a Kindle formatted book. You can download the Kindle app to your smart phone and/or computer and read it there. I’ve used the app. It’s pretty great.

The famed Amazon 1-star review: “I hated this book because it is all about sex, sex, sex. The story gets lost in the descriptive sex pages which are numerous.”
Actually, it’s a plot driven book in a plot driven paranormal series that has cult status among readers, but the review makes me laugh.

Snort Your Beverage! Jayne Ann Krentz and Christina Dodd Live!
New York Times Bestseller and friend Jayne Ann Krentz interviewed me in a Zoom/ Facebook event. There was laughter and engagement with readers, and we discussed what we were reading, what we were writing, how focused we are on food during the time of COVID, and had a tour of my office. Also, Jayne talked about the return of the dust bunnies! As so many of you said, it was like eavesdropping on one of our conversations. Enjoy!

Christina Dodd’s Anniversary Cake
Sometimes in an author’s career there comes a moment that resonates with emotion. I had one of those times on 
Saturday February 8 when, at The Poisoned Pen Bookstore, those wonderful booksellers presented me with a cake and balloons to celebrate my 30th publishing anniversary. I was reminded of my first autographing at the bookstore where I was a bookseller (Carol’s Book Corner in Houston) when a customer presented me with a cake she’d had decorated with the cover of my first book, CANDLE IN THE WINDOW.
Yep, I shed a few tears.
Then I ate cake.
Both cakes were yummy. I wish I could share them with you all, dear friends. Thank you for a wonderful 30 years!
As an author and reader, during these tough times I’m concerned about the fate of great independent bookstores like The Poisoned Pen. If you feel the same way, give your independent bookstore a visit or if that’s not possible, call and have them ship you a book or five. Want an autographed Christina Dodd book? The
