Blog postWell, this week sucked. I wasn't even used to the idea of David Bowie being gone when I found out Alan Rickman died. Figured the best way to deal was to have my characters deal. Enjoy, or cry, or both. Yeah...definitely both.

Blog postWent up north for a friend's wedding, which was lovely, and stayed at the Sheraton Duluth, which wasn't. My most controversial column yet for USA Today! But for reasons that are, at best, laughable. The general consensus of the negative comments is that my standards (carpets that don't smell like mold; lobbies free of vermin) are too high. Trying (and failing) not to read overt sexism into it ("Why complain?" "Seriously?"). See for yourself here.

Blog postComplaining about my terrific life on Facebook wasn't enough anymore. It was good for a quick thrill, like a mojito or a hastily gobbled bag of Tootsie Rolls, but I wanted more. I was addicted to bitching and needed another forum. (Besides my 65+ book back list, FB, Twitter, e-mails, and this blog. Yes, I'm aware the first step in tackling my problem is admitting my problem. Hush up.)

Blog postRyan Murphy, co-creator of FX's American Horror Story, is not a subtle man. And that's never been a problem for me, because I'm not a subtle man, either. I loved Nip/Tuck and I thought AHS: Murder House was a revelation and his work introduced me to the glory that is Lily Rabe and until the season finale of AHS: Freak Show I thought I'd be happy watching Jessica Lange recite grocery lists and now I know that's not so, and it's Ryan Murphy's fault.

Blog postI've rhapsodized about several things on this blog, like my job and Benedict Cumberbatch and Cocoa Puffs. Rarely do all three coincide (guess what I'm eating while I write this?). But when my UK publisher saw I dedicated UNDEAD AND UNWARY to a man I've never met, they asked me to explain myself to the world. With pictures, if I liked.
If I liked? Wait, so just write up a quick 500 words (I turned in 900) on the deliciousness of Benedict SherKhan Cumbersomething who is, hopefully as6 years ago Read more -
Blog postIt shouldn't surprise anyone who spends time on my Facebook page, reading this blog, or reading one of my books: I'm pathologically immature. Usually it presents as passive/aggressive shenanigans, and occasionally as humor. To that end, I have a lot of fun with my book dedications and author's notes. I was told many times that most readers never bother with the author's notes, unless they gave birth to the author. That's fine, no problem, as far as I'm concerned they don't even have to read the6 years ago Read more

Blog postAs I threatened--promised, as I promised--here's another sneak preview from UNDEAD AND UNWARY, released on an unsuspecting world October 7. The Anti-Christ is still trying to get Betsy to step up and help her run Hell, but Jessica's been acting weird. Weirder. Sinclair is revealed to be deathly afraid of Jessica's super soft bed, and some of my annoyance from previous day jobs creeps into the text. Also, this chapter is positively stuffed with Sinclair and post-coital snuggling.

Blog postSaw SIN CITY 2: A Dame to Kill For and was reminded, again, of all the shrill bitching about what a rabid foaming misogynist jackass Frank Miller is. The guy gets an awful lot of flak for someone who looks like an accountant. (He does. Google him. Accountant face.) Not that we should assign flak (or the lack of flak) to someone based on their looks. It's weird, though, all the flak when he looks like he wants to sit down and go over your deductions line by line. Maybe it's only weird to me.

Blog postFudge (if it doesn't turn out: Fludge)
Last week several of you asked for my mom's fudge recipe, and because I am a slave to my reader's demands, here it is. If you don't cook it long enough, the fudge won't set, and you get really heavy, thick ice cream sauce. My kids dubbed the failure Fludge, and my son actually prefers it to fudge, because he's weird. "Noooo, make fludge. Fludge!" "Shut up, boy, and eat your fudge or no dessert for you."

My primary focus has always been taking care of were-babies in the interspecies foster care system. I am unapologetically a fierce mama bear shifter and I am completely united with my team behind protecting at-risk were-children. So I have no idea why the appealing scruffy bear shifter PI David Auberon keeps hanging around, asking for sweets, and being charming and flirty. I've certainly got no time for shy solitary bears who can't ask for what they want.
But what am I to do when a hideous bad guy shows up and I need to rescue a were-baby, except call on the skills of the handsome and growly PI? And if dodging enemies puts us in a tight spot...well, I'm not against tight spots.
Praise for MaryJanice Davidson:
"Slow-burn sexual tension and playful paranormal elements make this hilarious, sizzling romance perfect for fans of Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series."—Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
"Davidson is in peak form in this hilarious, sexy, and heartfelt paranormal romance" —Booklist STARRED REVIEW
Orphans and humans and weres, oh my! Escape into this delicious shifter romance from bestselling author Mary Janice Davidson.
Oz Adway is a rare breed: an accountant who wants to get dirty. And, by the way, a wolf shifter working for the Interspecies Placement Agency. Bored with his safe office job, he volunteers to find runaway bear cub Sally Smalls, recently orphaned by a plane crash. Piece of cake, right? Unfortunately, Sally's taken refuge with "ordinary" human Lila Kai, a reluctant guardian who has no idea what's going on, but will destroy anyone who tries to take the cub. Not that it matters. Oz is not about to let a gorgeous Stable jeopardize his career move.
As for Lila, she knows something's different about the sexy weirdo who keeps popping up in the wrong place at the right time. She's determined to figure out what, regardless of the escalating threats to her safety and Oz's distracting hotness. She didn't move into a cursed house and take in a werebear just to run when things get complicated. Together, Oz and Lila will prevail! But only if they can keep their hands off each other...
Put away your pocket protectors: This hilarious story includes a nerdy shifter accountant with a bad-boy side, a fiercely protective human heroine, and a baby bear cub that will make every reader sigh in cuteness.

"This hilarious, sizzling romance [is] perfect for fans of Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series."—Publishers Weekly for Bears Behaving Badly
"Davidson is in fine form with the over-the-top humor and outrageous situations that have made her a bestseller."—Booklist for Me, Myself, and Why
Truth, Lies, and Second Dates is a sweet and sassy contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author MaryJanice Davidson.
Captain Ava Capp has been flying from her past for a decade. She’d much rather leave it, and her home state, behind forever. But when she finds herself back in Minnesota, against her better judgment, everything goes sideways in a way she never expected it to.
M.E. Dr. Tom Baker has never forgotten Ava and the cold case she ran away from. When she shows up unexpectedly in town, in spite of himself, sparks fly. Which is terrible because he can’t stop his growing attraction to her. Can these two Type-A’s let their guards down and work together to put Ava’s tragic past behind her for good? And keep their hands off each other at the same time?
But all is not bouquets and bridal showers—Betsy is plagued by ghosts who demand her help in rectifying their past mistakes, and a serial killer is on the loose. With his victims all being tall, blond women, Betsy fits the profile exactly…
It had been a well-kept secret for centuries, but now the existence of vampires is all over the news, thanks to Betsy Taylor’s half sister (and the frustrated former Antichrist), Laura. Life for the undead will never be the same, and it’s up to Betsy to do some damage control. But her interview on the local news doesn’t exactly put out the fire. It more or less pours kerosene on it.
With all the added attention on supernatural beings, the werewolves are more than a little agitated (never a good thing) and demand that Betsy gets her interview skills, and her family, in order. And while things go from bad to worse in the world, Hell continues to be hell—especially when Betsy’s new parole program becomes about as complicated as you’d expect.
With a PR team launching a vampire-friendly campaign, the devil at large and out to make trouble, and mermaids on hand to see who falls—and how hard—the end isn’t just near. It’s here. And if anyone knows how to go out with a bang, it’s the queen of Hell.
So when some guests show up uninvited, and they happen to be the powerful European vampires who have finally come to pay their respects the week before her birthday, Betsy gets really cranky…
Time travel meets Tudor-era mayhem.
American expat Joan Howe has a to-do list she loathes: finish her degree, find a new job, buy milk, ask her neurologist friend Lisa to cure her migraines. So when Lisa enrolls her in an experimental drug trial, Joan is elated. That is, until she takes the medication and falls through a time portal and finds herself at the Field of the Cloth of Gold. That’s right, Joan wakes up smack-dab in the time of Henry VIII.
After realizing this isn’tthe most elaborate Renaissance festival ever, Joan accidentally spills the beans on how England and France will soon be at war. In spite of her faux pas, Joan manages to get back to present-day England, where she’s met by the scientists of the secret think tank who accidentally created the time travel portals. What’s worse? They can’t control the portals and Joan’s the only person to return.
Well at least now she has a new job: time-traveler wrangler. There’s plenty of work rescuing those who go missing.
But all is not as it seems. With handsome courtier Thomas Wynter by her side to help guide her through the politics of Henry VIII’s court, and good old-fashioned 21st-century know-how, Joan races against time to save the other inadvertent time travelers and catch a culprit bent on changing history.
Follow a vampire hunter who can be as deadly as her prey. Meet a down-home southern girl who’s found out, much to her chagrin, that vampires are her type. Feel the euphoria of fear in the shadow of a reluctant queen of the undead. Step closer to the hot-blooded edge of passion as a strange new mythology of the night is unveiled.
Includes never-before-published stories featuring vampire hunter Anita Blake and everyone's favorite vampire-loving waitress, Sookie Stackhouse.
