From Maria's Newsletter:
Navigating the Stars will be published in January 2019.

Navigating the Stars is the first book in a new science fiction series. Terra Cotta Warriors have been discovered on other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. And Lyra Daniels' parents are the archaeological Experts (yes with a capital E) on the Warriors and have dragged her to the various planets to study them despite the time dilation causing havoc with her social life. When one of the many Warrior planets goes silent, and looters attack her research base, Lyra becomes involved in discovering why the Warriors were placed on these planets. And, more importantly, by who.

I had a ton of fun writing this book. What sets it apart from other YA SF, is that Lyra's parents are both alive and annoyingly active in her life. Also there are consequences to traveling vast distances in space very fast. Plus Lyra has a strong voice and lots of sass!

Read the first chapter here: http://www.mariavsnyder.com/books/nav...

I just read the first chapter and I was pleasantly surprised. I'm usually more a fantasy kinda girl, but Maria's writing always pulls me right in.

I can't wait!


Becky | 500 comments I just finished the chapter. Who do I need to bribe or threaten to get it published in the UK? I’ve been practicing my sneak skills so I’m ready for doing anything to get the book!


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Moving to Australia might be your only option ;)


Becky | 500 comments But they have snakes and spiders!! Talk about a dilemma. No more Maria V Snyder books or living with venomous things....


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
This is what Poison Study prepared you for!


Becky | 500 comments I refuse to do a Leif and be bait for a snake!


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
In that case it's good Maria is publishing them herself. All those publishers will feel soooooo stupid when Maria gets rich!


Becky | 500 comments Yet another reason to worship at the alter of poison!

Eilatan | TheRogueReads (theroguereads) | 12 comments I'm in the poisonous snake part of the world, so can't feel your pain. But I would suggest contacting Harlequin UK and reaching out to them on social media and through their contact email on their website. A serious protest will generally garner results. :O

Eilatan | TheRogueReads (theroguereads) | 12 comments Also, glad you all are looking forward to the new series. :D


Becky | 500 comments Blooming Harliquin UK screwing me over yet again!


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Maria needs a new and better UK publisher. I never really liked Harlequin. I felt like they undervalued Maria. If I compare them with Tor. Tor feels much more personal. Much more appreciated of their authors. Big or small authors alike.


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
This is sooo good! I read it in one day! (I havent done that in years)


Becky | 500 comments I’m so jealous I don’t even have the words


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Maria is a saint. She figured I wouldnt have the time to read it when its released because I have a new born by then. And Im now bored out of my mind because I have back problems. So she's send it to me <3

You will love it though! Its worth the wait!


Becky | 500 comments That’s if it gets published here...

Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Becky! Good news!

Navigating the Stars is out worldwide!

Navigating the Stars by Maria V. Snyder

And the cover is gorgeous! I prefer it over the AU cover. Which is a bit too pink for my taste.


Becky | 500 comments It is in the post already!!! Was so happy when Maria sent the links out and the UK was on there. I was beginning to panic that I would never read it.


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Ooooh I cant wait for you to read it!


Becky | 500 comments ITS ARRIVED!!!!! ITS ARRIVED!!! ITS ARRIVED!


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
READ IT!!! READ IT!!! REEEEEAAAAAD IIIIIIITTTTTT!!!


Becky | 500 comments I may only be 6 chapters in but I’m already in love with Lyra! I’m now at the important stage where I have to decide which is more important sleep or reading....


Becky | 500 comments Oh my stars! That was EPIC!!!!!


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Wow you finished it!? I love that we both read it in one sitting! Haha

(view spoiler)


Becky | 500 comments Nope. Did not figure it out.


Becky | 500 comments (view spoiler)

I'm regretting my decision to read rather than sleep though. I'm falling asleep at my desk at work.


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Hehe I know the feeling. I havent slept in weeks (7 to be exact... XD)


Becky | 500 comments And that is why I’m not a mother!! I like sleep too much. Unless there is a new Maria V Snyder book to read!

What’s their name?


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Tom :) yeah I love sleep too. But to be fair, I love him more. Hehe. Even though he is a little monster who doesnt want me to sleep in one bed with his father XD

YAY! Glad you enjoyed the book Becky! I'm not sorry for keeping you up late - you can always catch up on your sleep ;)


Becky | 500 comments So I'm re-reading Navigating the Stars (I know, its soon, but I totally loved it!).

LOL - you have me thinking! I'm working on Chasing the Shadows and I don't trust anyone! :)

And if you have some time to post an honest review on other platforms, I would appreciate it - it helps spread the word!

Happy Holidays!!



Becky | 500 comments Just promise not to hurt Niall and I will write a thousand reviews!

Nope its not available on audible for me... :( I guess its a europe thing...

And little TOM :P is going great. We went to the library for the first time today. He's already a bookworm. And Swimmy is one of his favorites!

Too bad about the audio book - I couldn't make it available worldwide because of Australia/NZ and there was no option that said the world except ANZ.

Glad to hear little VALEK is doing well ;) - also glad to hear you're raising him right. I love Swimmy!


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Ow thats too bad. So now its only available for the US? :(

And the UK and Canada. If you can access the UK site, let me know.

Eilatan | TheRogueReads (theroguereads) | 12 comments Renee, does this link work for you? https://www.audible.com/pd/Navigating...

It should link you to the NTS audiobook read by Gabra Zackman :O

(I honestly have no clue how this one appears to me in Aus, considering the one Harlequeen Teen put out here also appears on audible for me).

Edit: If I recall correctly it should also be available in the Apple Store.


Maria V. Snyder (maria_v_snyder) | 108 comments Eilatan wrote: ...(I honestly have no clue ..."

Eilatan - I believe you can view the Australian edition, but not purchase it if you're not in Australia/New Zealand. Yes, it's confusing and I sent an email to Audible about it, but they said that the website won't allow a purchase if you're not in the country.


Renée (maagtablet) | 620 comments Mod
Yeah I get "Title Not For Sale In This Country/Region" :(


Maria V. Snyder (maria_v_snyder) | 108 comments Renée wrote: "Yeah I get "Title Not For Sale In This Country/Region" :("

I'm working on that! Will let you know if anything changes!
