Guest blogger Maria V. Snyder tomorrow

Company's coming! Quick, everyone, clean the house! Sweep the cobwebs from the ceiling! Wipe that sticky stuff off the kids' faces! Make the dog take her dead rabbit outside!

Our first guest blogger arrives tomorrow. Fantasy author Maria V. Snyder writes the award-winning Study series from Luna and Mira Books. Read an excerpt from her first book, Poison Study, which won the coveted Compton Crook Award for Best First Science Fiction/Fantasy Novel. Her latest book is Magic Study, which was nominated for the Rita Award for Best Paranormal.

If you like my Aspect of Crow series, you'll like this one, too. The world-building is subtle, the characters are easy to relate to, and the romantic elements are strong and poignant but don't overwhelm the fantasy plot. And they are un-put-down-able!

Tomorrow, Maria tells us her favorite research story and how she learned not only about her topic (the bond between horse and human), but about herself as well.

I'll be out of town all weekend, but peeking in as often as I can, so everyone behave themselves, OK? No throwing food at the guest (unless it's chocolate, and even then, not those little squares with the hard corners).

Ooo, I can't wait to read Maria's post and her books! Well? C'mon already! It's four in the a.m. here on the west coast, what'er y'all waitin' for? :-D
