Traci asked Maria V. Snyder:

What inspires you to write about your characters in an "old world" setting? Would you ever consider writing a book set in a modern day or futuristic setting? I love the worlds you have created and would be interested in your take on a modern setting for your vivid characters!

Maria V. Snyder Hi Traci! I have written short stories set in modern day and enjoyed doing it, but for my longer novels, I enjoy the challenges that come with having to use horses for transportation and dealing with problems without modern technology like cell phones. Plus I love swords and horses and think it's too easy with cars and guns :).

My Insider books, INSIDE OUT and OUTSIDE IN are science fiction and more "modern" than my fantasy novels - you might want to check them out. And the short stories I mentioned are all listed on my website at http://www.mariavsnyder.com/shortstor... if you want to see the different ones I've written.
