The Matchmaker Chronicles: Two re-released digital books from Dee Davis!
A Match Made on Madison
Manhattan glitterati with a desire to find the perfect mate have a new champion in matchmaker Vanessa Carlson. With her fledgling business giving her biggest rival – friend and mentor Althea Sevalas – a run for the money, Vanessa’s services are definitely a hot commodity.
To prove once and for all who’s the best matchmaker in town, Vanessa and Althea enter into a competition to see who can score downtown playboy Mark Grayson as their client and send him walking down the aisle. Once a winner is crowned in this very public endeavor, there will be no question as to who rules Manhattan’s matrimonial mergers. But emotions often have a will of their own, and Vanessa learns that rules don’t always apply.
Set-Up in SoHo
When Andrea Sevalas’ long time boyfriend announces he’s seeing someone else, Andi’s thrown for a loop—well, actually, down a cellar. Head throbbing and nose out of joint, she’s rescued by one of New York’s finest – attorney’s that is. Ethan McCay – the upper east side heir to the kingdom of Manhattan. But Andi isn’t interested in princes. At least not the uptown variety. She’s a downtown girl with no time for Park Avenue royalty.
So what’s a fairy godmother supposed to do? Well, if she’s Andi’s Aunt Althea (the infamous Manhattan matchmaker) a little manipulation is in order. After all, even Cinderella needed a little prodding to go to the ball. And with a little help from her friends, Althea’s plan goes charmingly – until the clock strikes midnight and the truth is revealed.

Changes afoot
Hi all! Just wanted to let everyone know that, like me, my blog has moved!!! Not only are we off to Connecticut, we’ve moved the blog to my website — so please check us out at www.deedavis.com (the Connecticut Chronicles are up and running!!!)
P.S. All the posts from here are over there too. And I expect, we’ll still be heading to the city on a regular basis. After all it’s only a quick train ride away!!!

Welcome!
Hard to believe that I’m actually here! But I’ve been in Connecticut now for just over two months. And I’m finally feeling like I’m not buried in boxes. Still having troubles figuring out where everything is, but hey, it’s a good problem to have, right? The gardens are still spectacular even as summer is fading. Half the fun has been discovering various plants as they begin to bloom. Lady’s Mantle, Bee’s Balm, Phlox, Peonies, Hydrangeas, and a myriad of other spectacular plant life.
Bleeding hearts are a new discovery. Along with wild ginger and some of the most incredible iris I’ve ever seen. Also there are pinks, and butterfly 
bushes. Three gorgeous Rose of Sharon trees. And the lilacs in early spring were amazing. I have a wisteria that is crazily still in bloom. No idea why, but I’m not complaining. I even found to roses buried amidst a huge thicket of other growth. A red and a white. Can’t wait until this winter to get in there and cut them free.
Obviously this is a garden that has been well loved. There are columbines, ladies slippers, 
lilies of the valley, day lilies, black-eyed susans, daisies and several flowers I’ve yet to put a name too. I’m hoping next year to add dahlias and maybe gladiolas. And definitely some tulips. And maybe even some larkspur or foxglove. The height would be nice I think. I’ve got herbs growing on the patio and also a small tomato plant, currently harboring four tomatoes. We’ve got a wildlife all over the place, so no room for a full blown vegetable garden until we can build a fenced area. So far I’ve seen rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs, dear, and a couple of as yet unidentified rodents.
And that’s just the garden. The house, as old as it is, is full of discoveries too. But that can wait for another time! For now, I’ll just say how glad I am to be here. And how glad I am that you can join me once in a while!

Dire Distraction
So this is the week! The final installment of my A-Tac series, Dire Distraction is available now! It’s always hard reaching the end of a series (although never say never to a writer). But I do think that if we’re going to go out, doing it with Avery is doing it in style! Here’s the blurb:
As the commander for A-Tac, a black-ops CIA unit masquerading as Ivy League faculty, Avery Solomon is the best of the best. He’ll stop at nothing to ensure the safety of his team, but when a mystery from the past resurfaces, he puts himself directly in the line of fire.
PUSHED TOO FAR
After years of covert missions, Avery harbors regrets that continue to haunt him. He still blames himself for his wife’s death fourteen years ago—until an A-Tac operative finds a photo that suggests Avery’s wife may still be alive. Determined to discover the truth, Avery heads deep into the hostile territory of Southeast Asia, ready for danger and violence—only to find himself captured by desire . . .
Wilderness guide Sydney Price never backs down from a challenge. She has her own reasons for wanting revenge against the men being hunted by Avery. Though she tries to deny her attraction to the tough, handsome warrior, the spirited Sidney soon finds him impossible to resist. Now she and Avery must work together to uncover the truth—and stay alive. But as the enemy closes in and old secrets unravel, the line between partners and lovers vanishes like mist in the jungle . . .

Changes in the Wind
As you’ve probably noticed I haven’t actually posted anything since the start of the new year. Life, I’m afraid got away from me. But I have seen a number of musicals and plays. Nice Work If You Can Get It (Thumbs up and I’m betting it’s still fab despite the departure of Kelly O’Hara). The Mystery of Edwin Drood (A hoot!). Cinderella (Sadly not a complete thumbs up. Music is still wonderful. But too many liberties taken with the story line. It’s Cinderella, people. No meddling necessary.) Peter and the Star Catcher (yawn). Lucky Guy (Tom Hanks, Nora Ephron, need I say more?). Into The Woods (critics hated it, I adored it). Idina Menzel at Carnegie Hall (AMAZING). The Heiress (also fabulous). 
Going to see Pippin next month. Will be fun to see it again. It was my first Broadway play in 1977. Loved it then, hopefully will love it now.
And in addition to theatre going, I’ve also had another book out. My novella, Escape, a new entry for my Last Chance Series. Available at Amazon at B&N . And coming in June, the next book in my A-Tac series — Avery’s Dire Distraction. Also coming in May the re-release of my two entries in the Devil May Care series (with Julie Kenner and Kathleen O’Reilly). And sometime this fall the re-release in digital format of my Matchmaker Chronicles–A Match Made on Madison and Set-Up in SoHo.
The real news thought is that my days exploring Manhattan are numbered. We’re moving to 
the country– Connecticut to be exact. So stay-tuned for some changes. A new lifestyle for me. And a whole lot more on antique houses and gardening in Connecticut. I’ve already started my plant journal and I can tell you, it’s amazing what’s already blooming and it’s only April! So watch for updates here. And I’ll talk to you again soon!

Double Danger out December 18th!
So it’s not only the most wonderful time of the year, it’s release week for the sixth book in my A-Tac series Double Danger!!!
As the newest member of A-Tac, a black-ops CIA unit masquerading as Ivy League faculty, ex-SEAL Simon Kincaid races against the clock to save lives—and outrun his wrenching past. But preventing a major terrorist attack will plunge him and the one woman he’s never forgotten into a desperate fight for survival.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE
Ignoring his instincts once cost Simon a vital op—and the life of his best friend, Ryan. Now as escalating, violent attacks hit A-Tac, another person he loves is in danger. Homeland Security agent Jillian Montgomery’s investigation has brought her back into Simon’s life, and unless they can learn to trust each other, their dangerous mission will fail.
After her husband Ryan’s death, Jillian dedicates herself to saving others. She can’t afford to be tempted by Simon, even though his every touch reignites the desires they once shared. But in the last desperate minutes before disaster strikes, their second chance at love might be the most lethal trap of all …
A perfect stocking stuffer. I’m just saying…
