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.

Hi Maria, I have read some of your books and enjoy them greatly but I was wondering what inspired you to write? And why you chose magic as a main subject? I love your characters but how did you come up with some of the creative names? They are all so interesting. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions :)
