Lady in Black Paperback - 2014

Readers become writers, and CHRISTINA DODD has always been a reader. Ultimately she discovered she liked to read romance best because the relationship between a man and a woman is always humorous. A woman wants world peace, a clean house, and a deep and meaningful relationship based on mutual understanding and love. A man wants a Craftsman router, undisputed control of the TV remote, and a red Corvette which will make his bald spot disappear. So when Christina's first daughter was born, she told her husband she was going to write a book. It was a good time to start a new career, because how much trouble could one little infant be? Quite a lot, it seemed. It took ten years, two children and three completed manuscripts before she was published. Now her fifty New York Times and USA Today bestselling novels-paranormals, historicals, romantic suspense and suspense-have been translated into twenty-five languages, recorded on Books on Tape for the Blind, won Romance Writers of America's prestigious Golden Heart and RITA Awards and been called the year's best by Library Journal. Dodd herself has been a clue in the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle (11/18/05, # 13 Down: Romance Novelist named Christina.) Publishers Weekly praises her style that "showcases Dodd's easy, addictive charm and steamy storytelling." Christina is married to a man with all his hair and no Corvette, but many Craftsman tools.
