DANGER IN A RED DRESS hits the shelves!
February 2009
DANGER IN A RED DRESS got the Top Pick from Romantic Times Magazine! The review said, “Dodd neatly dovetails the conclusions of two of her series with this romantic thriller. At long last Gabriel Prescott gets his story as the saga of the Prescott siblings and the Manly brothers comes to a climactic close. The jeopardy is real and the passion intense. You always get your money's worth with a Dodd book!”

INTO THE SHADOW is on the shelves, and receiving wonderful reviews!
Jill Smith at Romantic Times said, "Creating a character
that is dangerous, violent, almost out of control and yet still
redeemable is quite a trick -- but Dodd pulls it off superbly.
This is another stellar book from a most talented author!"
Romance Reviews Today's Jane Bowers said, "I don't award
many Perfect 10s ... I hesitated because Warlord had committed
so many evil deeds. But then I realized -- what is the
redemption of a mildly naughty boy compared to what Warlord goes
through? Georgy Porgy compared to Crime and Punishment? ... I
enthusiastically award a Perfect 10 to Christina Dodd's INTO
THE SHADOW."

I’m celebrating the launch of the new paranormal
section of my website for DARKNESS CHOSEN, a
seductive series about an ancient, dark evil, and the Wilder
brothers, a modern family selected to break the pact, no matter
the cost to themselves. Please make sure you stop and watch
the intro with the sound on. It is so cool! And I promise,
you only have to watch it once, because there’s a “skip
intro” button. *g*
Once you're in the section, you'll see a page explaining the
Legend, one for the Cast of Characters, a section for the Books
with the back copy and excerpts for you, and finally, insight
into how I got the Idea for the series.
