- Jayne Ann Krentz has a fabulous audiobook sale! And so do I!
- Three fabulous eBook sales!
- TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN book tour is shaping up!
- For you, my darling newsletter friend: TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN arc contest! (newsletter subscribers only)
I would like to nominate this Whole Foods Mother’s Day ad as the worst ever.
“Here, Mom, I bought you a piece of raw chicken so you can make me dinner.”
In all fairness, further down the email there was cake and catering platters, but who in their right mind put this at the top?
Oh. Someone who’s not a mother. 🙄
Two Fabulous Audiobook Deals
Jayne Ann Krentz has an $4.99 audiobook on Chirp, her romantic suspense, SECRET SISTERS! What a great deal!
ALSO
My Romeo and Juliet are alive and their oldest daughter is a funny sleuth in Shakespeare’s Verona, A DAUGHTER OF FAIR VERONA, is $4.99 in audiobook.
If you have a mother who crafts or has a commute or loves audiobooks, these would be great gifts. She can listen while she crafts, drives, cooks.
Three Fabulous eBook sales!
Romantic suspense
— TROUBLE IN HIGH HEELS $1.99
— FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW 99 cents (Kindle only)
Historical Romance
— THE PRINCE KIDNAPS A BRIDE $1.99
Click to read excerpts on my website and get buy links. As always with eBook discounts, I have no idea how long these sales will last.
Audiobooks and eBooks are also better than raw chicken.

TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN arc contest!
Look at this TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN advanced reading copy! Look at the inside cover and the back cover. Isn’t it beautiful? Do you lust after one?
The TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN arc can be yours, personalized to you from me. You’ve already done the first two, all important steps: you’ve joined my newsletter and you’re reading this letter.
Now all you have to do is read the rules, enter the contest, and be one of the names picked by the randomizer. I know, a little trickier, but the odds of winning here are so much better than, say, the lottery and you could win a copy for your mom! Maybe she’d share! And it’s better than… You know.
Read the rules here. And enter.
Note: this contest is only open to Christina Dodd and Daughter of Montague newsletter subscribers.
And finally…if you must give your mother boneless, skinless chicken, I’d advise cooking it first. Here’s a lovely, easy recipe for Chicken Piccata. Bring it to her (with a helping for you!) and serve with pasta, a fresh green salad, with a lovely bottle of wine.
Happy Mother’s Day to you, too, my dears, and your mom and your mom’s mom, and happy reading!
Warmly,
Christina Dodd
