It was wonderful to meet you! I'll look up the song thanks for letting me know.

Hey I was listening to music the other day, and a song came up in my playlist that totally made me think of Poison study. You should listen to it and see what you think. You can probably find it on Youtube it's called Broken Girl and it's by Matthew West. It's really cool. I still can't wait to see you on Saturday

Yeah, that's where my librarian said you would be.

LOL! Thanks :) I don't do insta-love or "insta" anything - I make my characters work for it and I don't make it easy either ;>

Thanks Elmira - I'm glad you enjoyed all my books. And I'm going to be down in Kent County, DE on April 20 I wanted to put it on my website, but haven't got all the details yet. Can't wait!

I think I am in love with you! Haha. I particularly LOVE how you never ever write about insta-love! Woooh! Please don't stop writing like that!

I really like your books. I haven't read your short stories, but I have read all your books. I'm super excited, because my librarian told me that your coming to one of the libraries in my area, so I'm probably going to get to meet you.

Thank you Shamz! I did see your comment on another thread as well - I'm playing catch up with all my social media sites :) I've very happy to hear you've enjoyed my Study books and am impressed that you finished them so fast. I'm assuming you're done with Fire Study by now and I hope you liked the ending. And just FYI - I'm writing more Study books about Yelena and Valek - the first one is coming out late in 2014!

OMGGGG Mariaaaa

Thanks for finding me on Goodreads! So glad you enjoyed Poison Study - now you can read Magic Study and Fire Study and see what else happens to Yelena and her friends :)

The new Australian Covers are gorgeous! I'm about half way through Taste of Death and it should be coming out at the end of 2013. The new Study book should be coming out in late 2014 - not sure exactly when, but not before September. I haven't started it yet, but it's due to my editor by this time next year :)

Loving the Australian covers of your Healer series! (Trying to get my hands on the re-released Touch of Power cover) Just as I still love the Study series covers! Can not wait until Taste of Death, how far along are you writing that?? And when are you going to start writing book 4, for the Study series?! I'm not the kind of girl to flip out and cry for the things I love but there was definitely some skipping around the house with a big smile on my face when i read your newsletter with that tid bit of news :)

Thanks for accepting my request! I just read Poison Study and I am speechless.

I'm honored to be your favorite author. And I'm happy to hear my books stand up under multiple readings. Back when I started, I just hoped people would read and finish my book - I never considered they would re-read it! Good thing, or I would have been really nervous :)

Thanks Rainenoelle! I'm super glad you enjoyed my book and I'm thrilled to rise up to Harry Potter standards in your eyes :)

I <33 you! You are my favorite author. I really love Healer Series! Don't even get me started on Study series, I can't express how much I love that series. I have been rereading it every month. I love your writing style and how you portray the characters. I know you spend a lot of time on them because they come out to be flawless.

Hi Maria,

I just wanted to express to you what an impact your Study series has made on me. From the first time I read Poison Study (just last week), I knew from that point on you shot up to the top spot as my favorite author. I seriously have not been so obsessed with a series since reading Harry Potter back when it first came out. I can't wait to read your other books!

Your talented writing has totally "poisoned" me!

Keep those great books coming

You're welcome...I think ;> I had a flashback to the book Misery by Stephen King - and the movie was very scary as well! I know you're kidding and I'm glad to hear that you've enjoyed my books so much. Have you read the Insider books yet? Inside Out and Outside In, you might like them as well and perhaps Trella would be added to your list of heroes :)

Thanks for picking my book for you book club - I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.

*Dies when she sees that Maria V Snyder accepts her friend request*

You are the most amazing author... I could just kidnap you and force you to write stories just for me... Jokes, but you really are. The Study series I have read over and over, and A Touch Of Power is just a well written!!

Yelena, Avry and Opal are my heroes. If only they were real...

Thanks for accepting my friend request! I can't wait for the next story in the healer series!!! <3

(P.S. I'm not as mad as I sound in this...)

Thanks for accepting my friendship. Our last book club book choice was Touch of Power, and I LOVED IT. The entire world you created was amazing!!! Looking forward to the next!!

Thank you for accepting my friend request! I posted my review of Poison Study recently--what a breath of fresh air for me! I cannot tell you how much I appreciated how fast the plot was paced, but I just downloaded my sample of the next book in the series and Touch of Power. :]

Thank you for your wonderful comments! I write books that I enjoy reading, I focus on the characters first and then worry about the plot as I write. It seems to be a good combination for me - I hope it will continue to "work" :)

I'd like to write more in the Study/Glass world with a number of different characters. Right now I'm concentrating on my Healer Series, but after that....I might be able to return :)

Hi Maria..

:)

thanks for accepting my friendship!

.........................Hi Maria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your friendship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished reading Sea Glass and I just wanted to thank you for sharing such a magical (no pun intended) story. It's unusual to find such an original and engaging story, I loved it. Thank you

Truly. I. really. really. really. like. the. Study. Trilogy. series. XD

Hi Ms. Snyder we love all your books! but it would be great if we can find them in bookstores here in our country....anyway we ordered it from amazon and have it shipped all the way to Philippines! Thanks for writing such wonderful books! keep rockin!^^

Hi Maria!

One of my Goodreads friends has just told me you will be doing a signing in Brisbane, Australia on Monday 8 August 2011. I checked your website but couldn't find details there as yet. I was just wanting to check if that is definitely going ahead? I hope so, as if it is I will definitely be coming along and look forward to (hopefully) meeting you! I'm currently 3/4 of the way through Outside In, and I love it, I just can't stop reading!

I'll be on to Poison Study next, I've got it waiting at home :D

I hope to hear from you!

Brooke :o)

It's great to meet you, Maria, and thanks for adding me!

Thanks for adding me! :)

Thanks for adding me as a friend! I just finished reading Inside Out last night and it blew my mind! When I found out what was Outside I was so shocked! Brilliant twist! I can't wait for Outside In to be released in Australia and to meet you when you come to Sydney!!

Hi Maria, thanks for accepting my friend invitation. Your books are awesome! :)

Thanks for the friendship, Maria! :D

Hi Maria. Thank you for accepting my friend request.
I went to your talk and book signing at the E-town library on Tuesday and I really enjoyed it. I liked listening to you talk about books and writing.

I'm an aspiring writer and I was so excited to be able to listen and meet a published author.
Your talk was very enjoyable and I hope you will come to the library again. If you do, I will definitely be going.

Hi Thanks for accepting!!! I am currently reading Poison Study and am enjoying it immensely! It was suggested by a friend and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Hi Maria, Thanks for accepting my friend request! I'm so excited for your book signing October 1st....your books are absolutely my favorites and I can't wait to start reading Spy Glass!!
-Rebecca

Thank-you very much for kindly accepting my friend request.

The Poison Study series is an absolutle jewel! It's books like those that remind me why i love reading so much!

Best Regards,
~Rachel

I am so excited that I am actually friends with you and to actually have received a personal comment coming from you is such honor! I am sure you've heard this a million times over but I am a BIG FAN! I just started reading your books last year, starting with Storm Glass, which was highly recommended by yareads.com and I was hooked! I have finished the Yelena's series and I just finished the first book of Opal's. I'm putting a hold on the sequel to Storm Glass so I could read it immediately right before Spy Glass when it comes out. I was so happy to find Inside Out in the mean time, which I just loved, loved, loved! I can't wait for the sequel! You are just an amazing, amazing writer! You have got me hooked on reading that's for sure. And you're right, this site could possibly be addicting but not as addicting to reading! More power to you!

Hugs,
Milly

Thanks for adding me! I'm in LOVE with your books!!! They have consumed me these past couple of weeks!!! Have you ever read anything by Tamora Pierce? I think you would love her books! They are different from yours, but at the same time, some what similar...its hard to explain. But anyways, Thank you for sharing your stories with us! I love them!

Thank you for adding me
