Holly Copella Hi!
That would depend on your interests. I have many stand-alone novels. If you're interested in my series, Witness Protection and Midnight Requisition can be read separately. There is a crossover in WP8 & WP10. If you'd be interested in reading both titles, the order would be as follows:
WP1
WP2
WP3
WP4
WP5
WP6
MR1
WP7
MR2
WP8 - MR crossover
MR3
WP9
MR4
WP10 - MR crossover
MR5 (future)
WP11 (future)
Holly Copella Hello, Marge!

Thanks for getting in touch with me! Holly
Holly Copella I stole the idea from my earlier screenplay, "Sitting up with the Dead". It was supposed to be a remake, but I traded the serial killer for zombies. This changed the entire story, so I changed the name to "Basement Dwellers". The mortician and her quirky assistant are the only similarities between the two stories.
Holly Copella If you enjoy writing, write. If they tell you you're no good, write. Even if only one person ever reads your work, write. If it's who you are, you have no choice but to write.
Holly Copella I simply move the cat off my keyboard. But seriously...writing is an addiction. I'll write even if my idea is barely a thought. I enjoy the rush a new idea (any new idea) brings. If it doesn't pan out, I either file it or shred it.
Holly Copella My deviant mind can take me anywhere, and I can do anything I want. Writing is an escape. I get the same pleasure out of writing that others get from reading. There's nothing quite like writing a character who takes on his or her own personality. My characters often surprise me.
Holly Copella I'm working on a zombie/horror called "Basement Dwellers". The story is centered around a mortician and a coroner. If all goes well, it should be available in August. I enjoy writing both horror and thrillers. It depends on my mood. Since I just finished "Dead Village", a gory little piece, it seemed only natural to follow-up with another horror while the blood was still flowing.
Holly Copella Ideas are always creeping around in my mind. I believe the technical term is "daydreaming". Usually, I'll see or hear something minor, which spins off into an idea. My favorite ideas come from my dreams. I have nightmares to die for!
