"There's always another storm. It's the way the world works. Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms, sandstorms, and firestorms. Some are fierce and others are small. You have to deal with each one separately, but you need to keep an eye on whats brewing for tomorrow."

Accordingly, a 'genius' is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework."

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

Hey Maria, Thanks for accepting my friend request. I'm writing this slightly bleary eyed after staying up most of the night reading Magic Study, then starting reading Fire Study when I promised myself I'd go to sleep. Ooops...it was just that good.
I don't think I will ever me more thankful to Amazon as it recommened your books after I bought Fire by Kirstin Cashore.
Thankyou so much for writing such a fantastic series, I can't wait to see how it ends!!
xoxox
Thanks for the add, Maria. I just finished Magic Study last night - another can't put down until finished just like Poison Study. I can't wait to start reading Fire Study to see how everything turns out.
Thank you for the ad, Maria. I've just read 'Sword Point' in the 'Eternal Kiss' collection. I absolutely loved it, couldn't put it down, so now I'm really looking forward to reading more of yours. :-D
Hi, Thanks for adding me to your friends. I have yet to read Poison Study, but I heard it was very good. I am a reviewer for Fangs or Fur, and I would like to read it and get the review up on the site.
P.S.
Let me know if you are ever up for an interview for the site!
Take care,
Lenore
Hi Maria,
Thanks for making me one of your friends. I haven't read any of your books yet but am looking forward to. I've only heard great things!!
Hello Maria, thank you for adding me as a friend. =)
