MaryJanice Davidson Trivia

1. At the start of the book, Betsy encountered Ben Sporco (known in life as the Driveway Killer) in Hell. What did he want from Betsy?

From Quiz Undead and Done

Answer: To be paroled from Hell

A lot of this scenario was told from Ben's point of view. He'd heard about the new devil considering a parole program, and he wanted to make his case for being a parolee. Betsy heard him out, but there was never any chance that a deranged serial killer would be released back into the world. Ben killed Cathie after abducting her from a Walmart parking lot. He'd killed other women as well, but Cathie had been Betsy's first ghost pal (she'd seen a little girl ghost prior to befriending Cathie). Because he'd taken women from their driveways, and parking lots, he'd earned his own nickname in the media. Laura had been the one to kill Ben, way back in "Undead and Unwary".

From Quiz Undead and Unforgiven

Answer: 2 weeks

She met George Washington's mother, Mary Bell Washington, while she was in Hell. The woman was none too pleased with her son, the "traitor" to England. She returned home when she received a message from Sinclair that read "I miss you. I want you. Come." After they'd "reconnected", he told her she'd been gone for two weeks. Marc, Tina, and Laura all recommended she use location clocks like the ones used at the NY Stock Exchange. Then, she'd always know "when" it was back home. She ended up with a wrist watch instead.

From Quiz Undead Unsure and Unwary

Answer: Sweet sticky trap of tech

Betsy hated that "half the planet was enslaved to their cellphones", and had sworn she'd never fall into that "sweet sticky trap of tech". But, she became desperate to make peace with Laura after killing her mom - Satan. In addition to all of the calls and texts she'd sent, Betsy tried balloon bouquets, a minstrel greeting, cookie bouquets, and singing telegrams. Laura showed up. At last. "Stop sending these. They're following me."

From Quiz Undead and Unfinished

Answer: she knew every single language on Earth

Betsy was meeting up with Laura at her (Betsy's) favorite place, the Mall of America. They were trying to mend the awkwardness of their relationship that had begun when Laura tried to kill Betsy. No harsh feelings, right? What else could you expect from the Antichrist? Laura was addicted to the Tiger Balls at Tiger Sushi, and Betsy was, as usual, addicted to shoes. This addiction to shoes is prominent in every "Undead" book. It was at the mall Betsy noticed Laura speaking Tagalog (which Betsy referred to as "Tagalong") and sign language. Ding, ding, ding ... hello, Betsy. The Antichrist would need to be able to communicate with any/all people she encountered to take over the world. Tagalog is spoken in the Philippines. Laura could not teleport, so no corrections please. She did have the ability to use her hellfire sword to open a door out of time to get back into hell's waiting room.

From Quiz Undead and Unworthy

Answer: Antonia "The Ant" Taylor

Thanks MJ! Nothing could be worse for Betsy than to be haunted by her hated step-mother! Antonia appeared right in the middle of Sinclair and Betsy's love making, and no one but Betsy could see or hear her. So, initially Sinclair, Marc and Jessica thought that Betsy's screeches were of pain instead of hysteria. Antonia and Betsy's dad were killed in the previous novel. Betsy knew she'd have to solve her step-monster's problem before the witch went away. Antonia kept blaming Betsy, saying it was "all her fault", but not explaining what was all Betsy's fault. Elvis Presley is a vampire now and haunts Sookie Stackhouse's world in the "Dead" series by Charlaine Harris.

From Quiz Undead and Uneasy

Answer: July 4, 2007 at Midnight

Here is the exact invitation: "You are cordially invited to the wedding of Elizabeth Anne Taylor and Sinclair; 607 Summit Avenue; Midnight; July 4, 2007; RSVP By June 25, and don't be one of those jerks who doesn't RSVP and then shows up with three people. Seriously." August 28th is my own anniversary date.

From Quiz Derik's Bane

Answer: Lara

Lara is Michael's very young daughter, and future Pack leader. She tells her father to leave Derik alone, as Derik is feeling sad and stuck. She's correct too, because Derik was becoming Alpha. Michael is Pack Aplha, and there can only be one per family. Lara to her father: "I said leave him alone." Michael's response: "What did you say Lara?" Lara: "You heard me. But, you won't hear me say it again." Though he's initially irritated by her interference, he quickly became proud of her fearless display.

From Quiz Undead and Unreturnable

Answer: Wal-Mart

In this novel, the serial killer's MO was to strangle women and leave them to be found in a populated parking area, like Wal-Mart. He felt that he was causing them to experience humiliation in death as he'd experienced in his daily life. The article called him the Driveway Killer, as he'd snatch these ladies from their own driveways at home. Katie Johnson was believed to be the first local victim, her body found in a McStop parking lot. And then came Martha Lundquist, who was found in a Target parking lot. Cathie was believed to be the killer's third local victim, and authorities thought he'd also struck in Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas. It was Cathie who came to Betsy and led her and Laura to the killer.

From Quiz Undead and Unappreciated

Answer: the devil was bored

Throughout the novel, the devil is described as female. In this case, the devil possessed the body of Betsy's "step-monster" Antonia. Antonia woke up one day, after having giving birth to a baby girl, and did not recall the previous year of her life. She was so freaked out that she decided to get rid of the baby. So, she took her to a hospital and left her there. Baby Laura, who was the daughter of the devil, grew up with wonderful religious parents. She was a nice girl, but had a terrible temper!

From Quiz Undead and Unemployed

Answer: Nick Berry

Robert was a witness to Betsy playing hero. Though the story sounded like a tall tale, 52 year old Robert passed the breathalyzer test. He recited to Nick a story of a tall blonde woman who was able to flip his cab back onto its wheels. He also explained a weird attraction to Betsy, though she was young enough to be his daughter. His own daughter was nineteen and attended the University of Minnesota's Duluth campus.

From Quiz Undead and Unwed

Answer: got worse in a hurry

This is the very first line in the book. Betsy died in April, on her 30th birthday. She was late for work that day, fired due to cut-backs, and killed in a car on pedestrian accident. Fortunately for her, she'd been attacked a couple months earlier by the Fiends.

From Quiz Undead and Unemployed

Answer: Elizabeth Taylor

Betsy is the new Vampire Queen, set to reign for 1000 years, with her consort, Eric Sinclair. She's tall, blonde and likes to shop, but watch out when you find her near a shoe store!

From Quiz Undead and Done

Answer: Smoothie Nation

Fans all know that Betsy loves shoes and smoothies. Liquids have been Betsy's only alternative to blood, which met her need to mindlessly consume. She even got her friends and family hooked on smoothies at the mansion. After Laura outed the vampires on YouTube, Betsy decided to own her truth (at least parts of it) on TV. She was interviewed by Diana Pierce of KARE-11 news. Diana was a real journalist at this station when the book was released, as explained by Mary-Janice Davidson. Betsy met Carol in the 'non-literal' green room prior to her interview and made the woman feel at ease. Carol signed a copy of "Smoothie Nation" for Betsy and Sink Lair (Betsy was specific about the spelling of Eric's last name).

From Quiz Undead Unsure and Unwary

Answer: Sinclair

While Betsy was dealing with her step-mother and Jessica's parents in Hell, Sinclair was recounting the story back home for us readers. He admitted to all in attendance that he feared his queen, that was why she was the queen. This alarmed Laura and Jessica, but Dr. Taylor was assuaged when he said it was a loving kind of fear.

From Quiz Undead and Unstable

Answer: Giselle, the cat

Poor Giselle finally passed. The cause was inconclusive, though maybe we can ask Marc later if he ever figured it out (ew). Betsy was determined to bury her not so beloved pet, but she was besieged by a hoard of hounds and had to run back inside. Giselle's body was left outdoors, and Marc later sneaked out to retrieve her.

From Quiz Undead and Undermined

Answer: Garrett, the former fiend

Garrett had committed suicide after his girlfriend had died in the line of duty. Antonia, the werewolf, had taken a bullet to the brain to save Betsy from the same fate. Garrett had quickly impaled himself on part of wooden staircase he'd broken, ending his long suffering life. In the new timeline, Garrett was alive and well and looking forward to what Queen Betsy had promised him. Of course, Betsy had no idea what she had promised, so Garrett explained that Betsy would take him to Hell to retrieve Antonia. Betsy seemed confused as to why Antonia would be in Hell, and Garret simply stated "why wouldn't she be?" It turned out that Garrett had made it all up. Lying was a new aspect of Garrett.

From Quiz Undead and Unwelcome

Answer: Derik

When Eric, Betsy and Jessica arrived at Logan airport they were met by three members of the Wyndham pack. Michael, the pack leader, was there with his wife Jeannie and Derik accompanied them. Antonia had once told Betsy that Derik was her only true friend within the pack, and he demonstrated this fact with an overwhelming display of grief. Derik was normally a very happy wolf and Betsy had never seen him in such a state. He was offended by the condition of Antonia's body, but no one had wanted to touch her until they knew what was allowed.

From Quiz Betsy Taylor- Queen of the Damned?

Answer: Nostro

Nostromo, Noseo, Nostril, Nosehair, and Notso (when referenced in book two) were all Betsy names for almost the oldest vampire known. His real name was something average, and Betsy felt the whole "Nostromo" thing was a huge overcompensation for his sub-par appearance and height. When the final fight came down, Betsy showed her smarts when she turned the Fiends onto her side. She let them feed from her and then sent them to kill old Noseo! In a particularly true case of poetic justice, the damaged vamplings tore him to pieces. He'd been the one to have them turned and then starved, resulting in a horrifying case of frenzied psychosis and animal-like appearance. Nostro liked to conduct experiments, not unlike a vampiric version of Adolf Hitler.

From Quiz Undead and Uneasy

Answer: coalfire earrings

The term coalfire was used as one word in the book, so I made all the choices one word combined with fire. The tale included the fact that over one thousand men died mining the queen's stones. The queen made it clear that she would curse anyone who tried to take her beloved stones, so no one even tried to get them until she'd died. Four men took part in the theft of the earrings after her death, and the first three died very quickly after their pillage. Despite the deaths and the mysterious fate of the fourth thief, the earrings made their way to London. On the way, they caused many calamities. These included "a pig plague, a tomato blight, a series of foals born with five legs, multiple drownings several miles from from any natural water source, and a viciously quick mammal that no one ever saw clearly enough to describe well". Maybe the "mammal" was a werewolf or a vampire? The earrings spent a long time in the British Museum, where they caused more problems. The new curator finally rid the museum of the earrings by giving them to Lady Diana, the Princess of Wales. Finally coming into the possession of a very old vampire, the earrings' stones were divided into 25 different pieces and set around the world. One of those pieces came to reside in Minnesota around the turn of the 21st century, and of course, became Betsy's ring...

From Quiz Undead and Unpopular

Answer: Dead on the spot

Alonzo was a very old vampire from the European delegation. He and several other Euro vamps had taken their sweet time in coming to America to honor their new king and queen. Dr. Marc Spangler was instantly taken with Alonzo, and in awe of his tale of meeting Dorothy Dandridge in New York City around 1950. Dandridge was the first African American to ever be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in "Carmen Jones". She died in 1965, from an overdose of anti-depressant medication, at the age of 42.

From Quiz Derik's Bane

Answer: 17 years old

Antonia, like almost all of the Pack, is strikingly beautiful. But, being so easy on the eyes really did not set her apart in any special way. On her seventeenth birthday, she collapsed in a faint during breakfast. When she awoke, she told her parents that their Pack leader, Michael, was going to be a husband and father by Easter. Since that day, Antonia never made a mistake with her predictions, even by the tiniest bit. In this book, she is 22 years old.

From Quiz Undead and Unreturnable

Answer: Jonathon

Jonathon Peter Taylor II came into the world at 12:05 a.m. on December 15th, and the birth announcement came out two days later. Betsy's step-"monster", Antonia, called him Jonathon Peter Taylor II, but Betsy's father was not named Jonathon, just John Peter. Antonia always seemed to be showing her slivers of instability!

From Quiz Undead and Unwed

Answer: Minnesota

Betsy hates her name, Elizabeth Taylor. She loves fashion, especially expensive shoes, and talks about her home city of Minneapolis. She takes the bus to work, or she did before her death, and shops at the Mall of America.

From Quiz Undead and Unemployed

Answer: Nostro

Nostro was a regular all-powerful vampire who Betsy killed. Actually, she sent the Fiends to kill him, and they did. Now assassins keep trying to kill her. The Fiends are former vampires, which Nostro (short for Nostrodomus, and not his original name) starved beyond recognition.

From Quiz Undead and Unstable

Answer: Ancient Betsy

In the previous book, "Undead and Undermined", Ancient Betsy sent Ancient Marc, commonly referred to as the Marc-Thing, back to "help" save the future. I used quotes because his help had been slightly counter-productive. His long, drawn out discussions with normal Marc had caused the latter to commit suicide by overdosing on morphine. Marc left specific instructions about his after death care, as well as many journals about his life since meeting Betsy years prior. Betsy was wracked with guilt over his death, determined to bring him back, and suspicious when "someone" did it for her. Satan brought Ancient Betsy back from the future to explain herself. The older, colder, version of Betsy did just that, and stayed longer to help save the future.

From Quiz Undead and Unfinished

Answer: Valentino pumps

When Satan first appeared. she was wearing Stuart Weitzman stilettos worth half a million dollars. She made Betsy so angry, Betsy attacked her with the "Book of the Dead" stand. She broke it over Satan's body. When the time came to visit Hell, not too long later, Betsy was surprised to find the stand still broken. She also hadn't seen Tina or Sinclair in a while. How is it that this (not seeing important people for awhile) never seems to alarm her too much? Satan forgave Betsy her violence, but warned her she would "know" what to do to get her back when the time came. When Betsy decided to ride into hell with Laura, she realized she'd have to sacrifice something big. It was her never-before-worn pair of couture black-lace Valentino pumps. She told Laura that they'd go with everything, cost almost $1000 and took her a year to save for. So, if they went with everything, how come she'd never worn them? The sacrifice worked, and off to hell they went.

From Quiz Undead and Unwelcome

Answer: Castle

Betsy's own home, a mansion on Summit Ave., was quite impressive itself. When they arrived at the Wyndham home, Betsy was taken slightly aback at the gorgeous red brick and stone castle before her. It was on a field of green with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. Everyone was impressed with the home. Betsy confirmed that it was the first time she realized that something could actually smell gorgeous as well as appear that way. In case anyone was wondering what a saltbox house is, it is a dual storied wood frame home once popular in New England. It has a roof that slopes downward to create both a two storey section (in the front) and a one storey section (in the rear).

From Quiz Undead and Unworthy

Answer: Nick

Nick reported that some pretty heavy criminals were being executed by what he believed to be rogue cops. Sinclair tried to circumvent Nick's meeting Betsy, but she could tell someone had arrived at the house. When Nick took Betsy out on her first run, Jessica revealed that she had no idea what was going on. This offered Betsy the delicious opportunity to torment Nick for not being totally honest with his girlfriend, who scared both of them when she was angry.

From Quiz Undead and Uneasy

Answer: New York City, NY

Betsy was looking forward to two weeks in the city, a place she'd never visited. Right after this was revealed, Betsy dropped a little "I won't be taking your name, it's nothing personal" bomb on Eric. She claimed it was how she was raised, and Eric quickly pointed out that her mother had taken her father's name and she'd even kept it after their divorce.

From Quiz Derik's Bane

Answer: her house

She answered her door to find Derik waiting for her. She thought he was delivering her a loaner car that morning, as her mechanic had promised her. She saw Derik's electric-blue rented convertible and assumed it was for her. She realized she was incorrect later, when Derik tried to kill her. Antonia told Derik the future of Sara Gunn, AKA Morgan Le Fey. She told Derik to go to California and "take care of her". Derik assumed Antonia meant to kill Dr. Gunn, because she was fated to end the world.
