And then we would have to hunt you down, it wouldn't be pretty
LOL - thanks Becky - nice to know I have very loyal readers :)Renée - I type my stories, which is why I don't overhand set the ball when I play volleyball so I don't jam a finger!

And a follow up question, which one is most based on you?

Good question! I'm wondering that too:)
Renée - Do you pester your mother on who is her favorite child? ;>I'd have to say I'm partial to Avry - she's more nurturing than Yelena and more confident than Opal and nicer than Trella. I love all my girls - Yelena because she's brave, Opal because she's persistent, and Trella because she bad a$$.
Out of all of them, I think I'm the most like Opal - I didn't have much confidence in myself in school and like Opal, I grew to be more confident as I went from high school to college to a career.
Ooh heres one: everyone has that one book that started them reading or writing, mine was Windsinger by William Nicholson, what was yours?

poison study was the book that started me reading! ♡
Becky wrote: "Ooh heres one: everyone has that one book that started them reading or writing, mine was Windsinger by William Nicholson, what was yours?"Books were always part of my life - my mother read to me until I could read myself - If I had to give credit, I'd say Dr. Seuss and Leo Lionni. As for what started me writing, at the time I started I was reading science fiction and fantasy - Anne McCaffrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and David Eddings.

Why did you pick the name Berna?
In my baby name book, Berna means brave bear. When I start a new novel, I make a list of girl and boy names that I like and write down the meanings. Then as I'm writing and need a character name, I refer to my list. So when I needed a name for Danny and Zila's nanny, I thought Berna would be perfect.
I just noticed that there were going to be THREE MORE BOOKS in the Study series. Now I'm so freaking excited. That means MORE VALEK!!!! *squeal*Anyway, my question is, is there any new information about these new study books that you can share with us? Like a possible estimated release date, etc?

Question 3: Are you going to write more Study books about Yelena and Valek?
Answer: YES!! After I finish with TASTE OF DARKNESS, I will be writing another Study book, featurning Yelena and Valek! This new Study book will be out in late 2014 (no official date or title yet). The book will focus more on Valek and his past with the Commander. There will be scenes written from both Valek and Yelena's point of view and you'll get to meet Valek's parents. I'm quite excited about returning to the world and characters. It's been long enough and I've lots of new adventures for them both.
OMG! That sounds SOOOOOO COOL!!!! U love Valek and I want to learn so much more about him. *Squeal*by the way, how old is Valek really? it is never really confirmed in the books.
Im a newbie to good reads and am so excited that i can talk to one of my favorite authors! I'd just like to say Maria thank you so much for writing these amazing books! I am a huge fan but as I live in New Zealand I can't get to your signings :( I love all the characters in the study, glass and healer series but Avry would have to be my favorite :) You are an amazing author!

OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!!
Yeah I always wondered how old he was...

And for those of you wondering about Valek's age. He's 33 in Poison Study - I couldn't make him any younger and still have him learn to be an assassin and then be a vital part of the take-over.
Becky wrote: "wow, now thats an age difference!"It is - but consider Bella and Edward from Twilight - she's 17/18 and he's...125 ;>
It makes sense though if you think about it. In worlds like Ixia, age between couples weren't as restricted as say, in our society. In their world, Yelena and Valek don't think their age difference matters because its sort of the norm for couples in their world.
