Profile Information:

Hometown:
Originally Rocky River, Ohio—now, Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
About Me:
I have written and had published eleven nonfiction books on a variety of topics but I specialize in forensic science and criminal law. You may have a copy of my book: Making Crime Pay: The Writer's Guide to Criminal Law, Evidence and Procedure.

I am a member of several professional organizations: the American Society of Journalists and Authors, Inc., Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime and the Guppies.

A trained forensic artist, I hold a degree in criminal justice and am a Diplomate and Fellow with the American College of Forensic Examiners International and the International Association for Identification. I can do 3-dimensional clay forensic sculptures and comprehensive composite art. I've given a few workshops about these and other criminal justice topics so you may know me from that.
I Am A:
Reader, Writer, Publisher

Books And Authors I Like:
I like the early Lisa Scottoline books such as: Everywhere That Mary Went, but I have eclectic tastes and read almost everything. Usually I am in three books at a time, so I'm an avid reader. Susan McBride is a friend of mine and I like her humor, and I'm just picking up on Charlaine Harris as we will be driving to Houston for the RT BookLovers Convention in a few weeks.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
Fallen (1998) with Denzel Washington is one I like but I am positive I am reincarnated from the 40's and 50's since I am wild about movies from that era (dolman sleeves and a simpler life).

I watch all the TV crime drama because I write a blog about the disparity between them and real life. You can read some of the articles at: http://www.thecsieffect.blogspot.com

    Andrea,
    Appreciated the info on your CSI Effect blog. I know I'm amused by the instant DNA results on CSI shows.

    Thanks for visiting the blog, Laura. I've been absent because life got in the way but I hope to ramp up the actual blogging again. (Seems the paying work gets more exercise, Yes?) It's an endlessly fascinating topic though. Now all I need to do is have my agent sell the book proposal on it and I can write >daily< with a good conscience.

    Stop by anytime.
