When family life took centre-stage in her life, Christina plunged into writing romantic books. Dodd published three books within five years of trying her hand at writing. Her published book Candle in the Window sold thousands of copies and received positive reviews from critics. Her first editor severely cut the love scenes in Dodd’s manuscripts but when she moved to Avon publishers, the new editor chose not to meddle with the love scenes.
The first book she wrote with Avon, A Well Pleasured Lady, included uncut romance scenes written in raw, unedited frankness. In 2003, Christina released her first modern-day romance novel. Christina Dodd and her family currently reside in Washington.
