My name is Hollie and obviously I'm new here. I'm currently working on a murder mystery based on true events. I take a lot of my inspiration from writers like Nora Roberts and Karin Slaughter, I enjoy reading just about anything though. I will also admit to being a huge Rick Riordan fan.
Welcome sirette. Murder/Mysteries are interesting. I rather like the Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell, but have read a few others from other authors. More of a Horror and Sci-fi kinda guy thought. Good luck with your works.
I've took a stab at sci-fi a few times but it's hard to put my crazy thoughts into words. Being such a huge Rick Riordan fan I tried using Greek mythology as a catalyst but it just seemed hokey to me. I do like to include cults or conspiracy theories in my writing though.
@HollieMarie I have used a bit of Con-Theory to write my Sci-fi duology. I am sorry Greek myth didn't work out, but try some other mythology like Egyptian or something. I have the same trouble with Erotica, that you have with Sci-fi.
Haha any kind of erotic scene is hard to write. I get my sister to help me write those scenes. I asked my family to read through my current novel and to my horror my grandmother offered to read it. I just hope she skipped over those parts. Lol.
