UNDEAD AND UNAPPRECIATED by MaryJanice Davidson

For fans of MaryJanice Davidson, here’s another one of her hilarious vampire books, UNDEAD AND UNAPPRECIATED. (Berkley, July 05) Most women would love to live as royalty, but Betsy Taylor has found that being vampire queen has more problems than perks, except for always being awake for Midnight Madness sales. It may be easy to find blood (yuck) in the dark of night, but try finding a strawberry smoothie. And employees at her nightclub, Scratch, have been giving her nothing but grief since she killed their former boss. Some people...

But Betsy's "life" takes an interesting turn at a baby shower for her wicked stepmother, who lets it slip that Betsy has a long-last half sister. Now twenty years old, this woman just so happens to be the devil's daughter...and destined to rule the world.

Huh, "0" comments again.
Ok, I'll fix that.
I'll read the book when I get it from my Library..can't swing a hardcover price this month.
However, I just finished 3 in One series "Desert Sons" with your contribution about Luke and Ashely. That was fun. I enjoy stories about Native Americans. How much research do you have to do to get a "feel" for another culture within our own culture? It's hard for me to imagine getting into a male POV with any realism and believability...I'm talking me not you. You can and I'm impressed.

Michelle,Iam in the Atlantis Hotel in REno typing on a horrible computer. We did a TON of research for DESERT SONS. We met in Santa Fe and toured the area(including pueblos, casinso, art gallery road, restaurants, country side.) That's how I know the art gallery row is one way. We used brochures and shops for the jewlery. I lost $30 in an Indian casino playing black jack. I bought books on NM architecture, gardens and plants. We also did a lot of web research on Native American witches and legonds. And I found a movie on TV about Native American witchcraft.
Ann Voss Peterson is a legal expert,so she handled that aspect of the story.

Wow!!
Years ago I heard the word "Renaissance Man" as being someone who knows something about every subject on earth. I think with as many books as you've written, and the research that you have had to do to create them, you qualify as our
Renaissance Woman.
Blows my mind!
