About the Book:

It's all in the details... How to Write Realistic Crime Dramas

Crime stories have always intrigued viewers and storytellers. Today, crime shows rule the airwaves and there is truly a procedural drama out there for every personality – and every writer. But the television or movie screen is the closest most people will ever come to witnessing the forensic world. Not Jennifer Dornbush – she actually lived it. As a daughter of a medical examiner, whose office was in her home, she investigated her first fatality, an airplane crash, when she was 8 years-old. Since that first case she has had decades of on-sight experience in death investigation and 360 hours of forensic training through the Forensic Science Academy.

Forensics finally explained in lay people's terms. Born out of her real-life experiences, Forensic Speak unlocks the secrets of forensic science for writers and fans alike by taking you behind the crime tape, lab doors, and into the morgue, to learn how things are really handled. Over 300+ forensic terms. A filmography of 100 film and TV examples and 80 additional resources. Forensic Speak provides writers direct access to hundreds of ways to make your crime writing more authentic.

What people say:

It's like cheating, without the guilt." — Liz Garcia, executive producer/co-creator Memphis Beat and Cold Case

"Forensic Speak cuts through the technical complexities of forensic science to carve a clear path for procedural writers, whether aspiring or experienced." — Chris Levinson, writer/executive producer Law & Order

"I've been writing procedurals for over ten years and I've read every forensic reference out there, so believe me when I say Forensic Speak is the only one you'll ever need." — Brian Davidson, writer/producer CSI: Miami
