Teach the Torches to Burn:
A Shakespearean Wedding Adventure
With the San Diego Shakespeare Society!

Adventures by the Book® cordially invites you to the wedding of the summer, where we will be joined by New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd for an unforgettable evening inspired by her dazzling new novel, Teach the Torches to Burn.

In Christina’s latest Daughter of Montague mystery, Romeo and Juliet never met their tragic end. Instead, they lived to raise a daughter of their own—and now Verona is preparing for her wedding. But what should be the celebration of the season takes a deadly turn when a murder casts a shadow over the festivities. Because that’s the way it goes in Fair Verona. 😁

Your Adventure will take place at the Coronado Public Library and includes an engaging author conversation, audience Q&A, book signing, and the opportunity to purchase copies of Teach the Torches to Burn for a personalized signature.

FREE
*or* $28.00 with autographed book; VIP seating included!


Please come if you’re in the area for any of these. I’d love to meet you and whether I’m being interviewed or giving a reading (can you imagine a reading from Rosie’s point of view? 😁), we have a good time. It’s always great to meet you!
