MaryJanice Davidson-the self-proclaimed ‘anti-Anne Rice’-is a USA Today best-selling author who has also cracked the extended New York Moments list with her refreshing and funny vampire novels. Starring vampire queen Betsy Taylor, the stories explore an underworld where creatures of the night time not only fear sunlight, but also pay out their bills on time. Christmas is getting close to, and since the holidays are a period for relatives and buddies, Betsy takes share of her situation. Her half-sister may be the devil’s child. She’s an bad stepmother. A despicable creature lives in her basement. Most unsettling of all, she has a spring wedding ceremony to plan. But just when Betsy thinks she might not survive the vacation season, she’s a pleasant thought-she’s already inactive.
