If you’ve ever written a mystery, a cozy, or a thriller…if you’ve ever had a dead body or a crime solved in your book, then it helps to be friends with a Forensic Scientist. Learn how solving crimes works (it’s not like TV.) Learn what we can and can’t do. Best of all, learn how to get away with murder! Bring your plot quandries and your best urban myths (bury a dog on top of the body? wear a wig of donated hair?) and we’ll put them to the test.

A born nerd, AJ was excited that her birthday fell on the first day of school many years. As an adult, she continued on this geeky path, doing a thesis for an undergrad degree and then getting two more degrees in human science fields because school is freakin’ awesome! The author of 20+ books, AJ has won 15 Best Suspense/Best Fiction of the year awards. Her work is gritty and always walks the edge of reality.
