Your route to the “big time” in mainstream publishing is fairly unique. …although you’d been published in romance/romantica since 2000 and previously, going back into the late 1990s, with Young Adult fiction. You sort of “burst” onto the scene in 2004 w/your Betsy books… Davidson’s answers aren’t quite like Proust’s. Every month on the back page of Vanity Fair magazine, a celebrity is asked some of the same questions Marcel Proust answered on two separate occasions in his life – and that suck-up James Lipton uses them as well during his Inside the Actors Studio interviews. It’s nearly impossible for this author to remove her tongue from her cheek – even in an interview – so sit back and enjoy a snappy ride, which intersperses the types of questions you’ve come to expect in an AAR interview with parts of the Proust Questionnaire. The third in her Betsy series, Undead and Unappreciated, will be released in a couple of months. It’s only March and we’ve already seen two single title releases and one anthology contribution from Ms. It also just won as Best Alternate Reality Romance and received honorable mention as a Favorite Funny in AAR’s annual Reader Poll. Undead and Unwed, the first of these single title releases, was a fresh, snarky, and incredibly fun amalgam of Chick Lit, Vampire and Romance that introduced most of us to her very unique voice. MaryJanice Davidson burst onto the mainstream publishing scene in 2004 with a multitude of releases (both books and short stories), three of which were single titles.
