Hello, Mrs Snyder. As I was re-reading "Poison study" the other day, I realised that there was a great deal of information about poisons and the various ways to identify them. What I'd like to know is did you do special research on poisons and if yes, what books/web pages/sources etc. did you use? Thank you! :)

Hello Gergana! I did some research on poisons and realized that I couldn't find real poisons that would do what I needed them to do - so I invented all the poisons in the book. But the food tasting methods are all real - and I learned all that information from my husband. He worked for a candy company and did a lot of tasting for them.

Will "Jaydai quest" be mentioned again after 1.5? I'm on book three and it hasn't been mentioned, nor have I been able to find any questions online, so, me being the super curious person I am, was wondering if this was the only time it will be mentioned or if it will be explained later.

Hi Maria! I absolutely ADORE your books and I have read the short stories on your website as well. I was just wondering: would those short stories (assassin study, ice study, etc as well as Valek's POV) would ever be published as an actual book? I would love to be able to buy them and add them to my collection! Thanks, Hannah
