Maria V. Snyder was bored at work and needed a creative outlet, so she started writing stories. Over twenty-two novels and numerous short stories later, Mariaโs learned a thing or three about writing. Sheโs been on the New York Times bestseller list, won a dozen awards, and earned her Masters of Arts degree in Writing from Seton Hill University, where she is now a faculty member for their MFA program.
When she's not writing she's either playing the cello, playing pickleball, travelling, taking pictures or zonked out on the couch due to all of the above. Being a writer, though, is a tonne of fun. Where else can you take fencing lessons, study martial arts, learn how to pick a lock, take glass blowing classes and attend Astronomy Camp and call it all research?
