Hahah I can see the difficulty in choosing the last name for the book! Hmm, maybe something like Phantom or Darkness Study? Or maybe even Light Study. But yay! Can't wait for Shadow Study to come out :D

I don't know what I'm doing after I finish the new Study books - there will be three total, Shadow Study, Night Study and ? Study (no title for #3 yet!) I really haven't even thought about it as I'm concentrating on finishing these.

Are you going to be making a new series like Touch of Power and Poison Study? (Not counting Shadow Study since that's basically Poison Study). ^^

ARGH!! I just accidently hit "Ignore" for all my selected friend requests and can't get them back!! I wanted to approve them all.

If you recently sent me a request - please send it again!!

I'm glad you've enjoyed my books. I'm working on new Study books - with SHADOW STUDY coming out in 2015. Have you read my Inside Out and Outside In? They're a bit different than my others, but I still have a strong female protagonist and page-turning adventures for the characters :)

Maria I really hope you cook up something again! I LOVED study, glass and healer-series and I felt so sad when reading the last; there was no more to read :( I'm always keeping an eye out for new books from you! Keep up the awesome writing!

Hi Veronica! I would love to visit Chicago - I've flown through the airport dozens of times. I keep waiting for my husband to have business out there so I can tag along :) If I do, I'll make sure to send out info to those living within 100 miles of the area.

I would to see you come to the Chicagoland area so I can have the chance to meet you and have my books signed!! I have read a lot of your books and love them all!!

You can read the first chapter of ALL my books, plus free short stories about the characters in the Study books on my website. Here's a link: http://www.mariavsnyder.com

I've heard great things about Slippery Rock. And you can go to Seton Hill for your graduate degree :) I'm part of their MFA program.

Thanks Shaneen! I'm glad you've enjoyed my books and hope you liked the rest of the Glass books. The new Study book will pick up soon after SPY GLASS and has chapters in Valek's POV :)

I'm usually pretty ok with having gone to Slippery Rock University, but then I remember that Taste of Darkness is about to come out and realize that I should have gone to Seton Hill.

Thank you for accepting my friend request! You are one of my favorite authors! I love the Study series and can't wait for the next 3 books in that series to come out. I am also currently reading your Glass series and finding that I enjoy them as much as I did the Study series and love that I get to enter the world of Sitia and Ixia again! I hope you keep up the awesome work and guarantee that you will always have a fan in me!

You're very welcome! Thanks for finding me on Goodreads. I'm glad you've enjoyed my books and hope you'll like Touch of Power as well (although I'm pretty sure you will since my readers who loved the Study books have told me they like the Healers books just as well).

Thanks for accepting my friend request!:) I absolutely fell in love with your Poison Study books, and I can't wait for the next books in that series to come out!! (SO EXCITED!!!:D) I just put on hold the Touch of Power, and I can't wait to read that as well!:)

Hi Isaias! I'm glad you enjoyed my books. Thanks for the nice comments - always nice to hear :) Yes - I'm writing three more Study books. The first is about Yelena and Valek and I'm writing it right now! It should be published late next year.

Hi, Maria, I want to tell you that I believe you're an amazing author. I've only read your Poison trilogy series but I already have in my hands Storm Glass, and I can't wait to read it!!! And I have to ask: IS IT TRUE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO WRITE THREE MORE BOOKS ABOUT POISON STUDY? THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE VALEK AND YELENA?
I hope you can answer me.
Best wishes, Isaias

LOL about locking yourself in your room! Keep an eye on my Facebook page and my Blog - I'll have contests to win an early copy of Taste of Darkness in the next couple months (most likely the end of Oct. early November) - I always get my box of books early - author perk ;>

Thanks Hetal! I'm honored to be your Favorite author :) Have you read On the Edge by Ilona Andrews? I loved it and there is a whole series of them - I just finished the second.

Just finished reading Poison Study for the 3rd time! You are my FAVORITE author and I've read all your books! When I look for a book, I always dorkily look for little review blurbs that say "for fans of Maria Synder" and chose my books accordingly :p

I shall wait eagerly. The certain event (which I shall not name for fear of a painful death) that happened at the end of the second book left me breathless, and to deal with the shock, I locked myself in my room for nearly a week to read the two over...and over...again ('twas the holidays.) I cannot wait for the next! (God...I'm addicted...)

Thanks WolfGirl! I'm happy to hear you've enjoyed my books :) The third healer book is coming out the end of December 2013 - not that far away - right?

Hey Ms Snyder!
You are one of my favourite authors. I've read nearly all your books (currently enjoying Storm Glass) and I find them fantastically awesome! Thanks for gracing the earth with your books, they have saved many from the dark pits of boredom. My particular favourite is Touch of Power, can't wait for the third book to come out!!! Inside Out was the first one I read, and it blew me away too. Keep on rocking!!! :D

It was wonderful to meet you! I'll look up the song thanks for letting me know.

Hey I was listening to music the other day, and a song came up in my playlist that totally made me think of Poison study. You should listen to it and see what you think. You can probably find it on Youtube it's called Broken Girl and it's by Matthew West. It's really cool. I still can't wait to see you on Saturday

Yeah, that's where my librarian said you would be.

Aynab wrote: "I think I am in love with you! Haha. I particularly LOVE how you never ever write about insta-love! Woooh! Please don't stop writing like that!"

LOL! Thanks :) I don't do insta-love or "insta" anything - I make my characters work for it and I don't make it easy either ;>

Thanks Elmira - I'm glad you enjoyed all my books. And I'm going to be down in Kent County, DE on April 20 I wanted to put it on my website, but haven't got all the details yet. Can't wait!

I think I am in love with you! Haha. I particularly LOVE how you never ever write about insta-love! Woooh! Please don't stop writing like that!

I really like your books. I haven't read your short stories, but I have read all your books. I'm super excited, because my librarian told me that your coming to one of the libraries in my area, so I'm probably going to get to meet you.

Thank you Shamz! I did see your comment on another thread as well - I'm playing catch up with all my social media sites :) I've very happy to hear you've enjoyed my Study books and am impressed that you finished them so fast. I'm assuming you're done with Fire Study by now and I hope you liked the ending. And just FYI - I'm writing more Study books about Yelena and Valek - the first one is coming out late in 2014!

OMGGGG Mariaaaa

Thanks for finding me on Goodreads! So glad you enjoyed Poison Study - now you can read Magic Study and Fire Study and see what else happens to Yelena and her friends :)

The new Australian Covers are gorgeous! I'm about half way through Taste of Death and it should be coming out at the end of 2013. The new Study book should be coming out in late 2014 - not sure exactly when, but not before September. I haven't started it yet, but it's due to my editor by this time next year :)

Loving the Australian covers of your Healer series! (Trying to get my hands on the re-released Touch of Power cover) Just as I still love the Study series covers! Can not wait until Taste of Death, how far along are you writing that?? And when are you going to start writing book 4, for the Study series?! I'm not the kind of girl to flip out and cry for the things I love but there was definitely some skipping around the house with a big smile on my face when i read your newsletter with that tid bit of news :)

Thanks for accepting my request! I just read Poison Study and I am speechless.

I'm honored to be your favorite author. And I'm happy to hear my books stand up under multiple readings. Back when I started, I just hoped people would read and finish my book - I never considered they would re-read it! Good thing, or I would have been really nervous :)

Thanks Rainenoelle! I'm super glad you enjoyed my book and I'm thrilled to rise up to Harry Potter standards in your eyes :)

I <33 you! You are my favorite author. I really love Healer Series! Don't even get me started on Study series, I can't express how much I love that series. I have been rereading it every month. I love your writing style and how you portray the characters. I know you spend a lot of time on them because they come out to be flawless.

Hi Maria,

I just wanted to express to you what an impact your Study series has made on me. From the first time I read Poison Study (just last week), I knew from that point on you shot up to the top spot as my favorite author. I seriously have not been so obsessed with a series since reading Harry Potter back when it first came out. I can't wait to read your other books!

Your talented writing has totally "poisoned" me!

Keep those great books coming

You're welcome...I think ;> I had a flashback to the book Misery by Stephen King - and the movie was very scary as well! I know you're kidding and I'm glad to hear that you've enjoyed my books so much. Have you read the Insider books yet? Inside Out and Outside In, you might like them as well and perhaps Trella would be added to your list of heroes :)

Thanks for picking my book for you book club - I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.

*Dies when she sees that Maria V Snyder accepts her friend request*

You are the most amazing author... I could just kidnap you and force you to write stories just for me... Jokes, but you really are. The Study series I have read over and over, and A Touch Of Power is just a well written!!

Yelena, Avry and Opal are my heroes. If only they were real...

Thanks for accepting my friend request! I can't wait for the next story in the healer series!!! <3

(P.S. I'm not as mad as I sound in this...)
