“Yelena, you've driven me crazy. You've caused me considerable trouble and I've contemplated ending your life twice since I've known you." Valek's warm breath in my ear sent a shiver down my spine.
"But you’ve slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart.”
“That sounds more like a poison than a person,” was all I could say. His confession had both shocked and thrilled me.
“Exactly,” Valek replied. “You have poisoned me.”

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

“When we reached the door, Belen stepped in the way. 'If any harm—'
'Comes to her, you’ll rip out my arms. Got it,' Kerrick said.
'I’m serious,' Belen said.
'I know. Do you really think I’d put her in danger?'
'Not on purpose, but things happen that are out of your control.'
Kerrick gave him a tight smile. 'You mean I'm not omnipotent?'
'You're not even semi-potent.'
'Is that even a word?' Kerrick asked.
'He probably means you're impotent,' I offered.”

You're welcome! Thanks for finding me on Goodreads. My next release is Defending the Galaxy - book 3 of my Sentinels of the Galaxy series. :)
The covers - beautiful.
The summaries - enticing.
The text - undescribable.
Thank you for writing your books."
Thanks for the kind words Courtney! I'm happy to hear you've enjoyed my books!

Thank you for writing your books.
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.
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 :)
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.
Thanks for finding me! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the Study books and you do have lots more to read as I'm up to 12 published novels! 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 :)
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).
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.
I hope you can answer me.
Best wishes, Isaias
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..."
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.
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 e..."
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...)
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 bo..."
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?
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.
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've finished the first two books in 3 days and am on the 3rd one as i'm typing!! all i can say is that i am IN LOVEEEEEEE (with valek ofcourse... hehe) but no seriously i love the..."
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!
i've finished the first two books in 3 days and am on the 3rd one as i'm typing!! all i can say is that i am IN LOVEEEEEEE (with valek ofcourse... hehe) but no seriously i love the main characters and have never had strong feelings about the main characters as i do when i read about yelena and valek!! ohhhh maria maria maria... if only i could really use telepathy to speak to people at any moment!! goshhhhh if onlyyyy
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 :)
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 :)
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 to..."
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 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 are the most amazing author... I could just kidnap you and force you to write stories just for me... Jokes, but you really ..."
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.
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...)
