Hi Cece! Overall it's a great job and I enjoy it. And just like any job there are pros and cons. The perks are things like working at home, setting my own schedule, being creative by creating new characters and worlds, good reviews, my readers (I love my readers - they rock!), and getting books to read and review. There are difficulties like having deadlines and having to finish the book no matter how I feel, bad reviews and horrible sales numbers, worry that I won't be able to come up with any new ideas, and not having enough time to write and promote my books.

Thank you so much, Maria! I’ve been in love with your books since their first publication and though I’m not able to read as I would like, re-reading your Ixia books, I love the new books, too! Thank you for writing The Study of Poisons from Valek’s point of view. It’s such a treat to have such insight into Valek. Here’s the obligatory question mark? :-)
