Project Monogamy

I’m having an affair with another novel.
I want you to know I don’t normally do this sort of thing. I’m actually quite square and straight-laced when it comes to my writing process. I work on one project at a time and, on top of that, I even tend to have to write chronologically. I can’t even […]

Book launch: Midnight Never Come

Here’s what a smart writer does. (i.e. a writer who isn’t me.)
You know you’ve got a book coming out, the first of at least two in a new series. It’s a new direction for you — historical faerie fantasy with healthy doses of political intrigue and some romance — and you’re a little […]

Promotional Burn Out

Yep – I’ve reached it. It isn’t pretty either. All desire to do…well anything has gone…somewhere without me. I think I lost it in the Bermuda Triangle where our 5-day relaxing get away cruise turned into a 6-day hair-graying adventure, but that’s another blog.
Since Fire Study was released in late February, I have spent only […]

The end, however, is not nearly nigh enough. My deadline is in a couple of short weeks, and so I’ll keep this relatively short.

Maria V. Snyder

Maria V. Snyder has been writing fiction and nonfiction since 1995. She has published numerous freelance articles in magazines and newspapers. Her first published novel, Poison Study appeared on the shelves in 2005, and chronicles Yelena’s challenges in surviving her dangerous job as a food taster. Magic Study follows with Yelena’s efforts to learn about her magic while searching for a rogue magician turned serial killer. Fire Study chronicles Yelena's adventures with a Fire Warper and was released in March 2008. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Maria earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology at Penn State University. Much to Maria’s chagrin, forecasting the weather wasn’t one of her skills. Writing, however, proved to be more enjoyable and Maria earned a Master of Arts degree in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. As part of her research for her Study novels, Maria signed up for a glass blowing class to learn how to shape molten glass. The first thing she learned is it is considerably harder to sculpt glass than it looks. Maria now has an extensive collection of misshapened paperweights, tumblers, and bowls. When she’s not traveling, Maria lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, son, daughter and yellow Lab. She is working on her next MIRA novel, Storm Glass, due out Spring 2009. Readers are welcome to contact Maria by e-mail at maria@mariavsnyder.com, or they can find more information on her Web site at www.mariavsnyder.com. Visit site.
