Up to the Challenge Book Release

Up to the Challenge Book Release

New York Times bestselling author Maria V. Snyder is celebrating the release of Up to the Challenge, a collection of her short speculative fiction, at Cupboard Maker Books in Enola, PA on Saturday from 1 to 3 PM.  Pre-Order on our website.  Maria V. Snyder switched careers from meteorologist to novelist when she began writing the New York Times best-selling Study Series about a young woman who becomes a poison taster. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Maria dreamed of chasing tornados and even earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Meteorology from Pennsylvania State University. Unfortunately, she lacked the necessary forecasting skills. So she worked as an environmental meteorologist until boredom and children drove her to write down the stories that have been swirling around in her head. Writing, proved to be more enjoyable than meteorology, and Maria returned to school to earn a Master of Arts degree in fiction writing from Seton Hill University. Unable to part company with Seton Hill and its wonderful writing program, Maria is currently a teacher and mentor for the MFA program.
