Why Write about Serial Killers?
One of the most common questions that I receive from readers is, “What made you want to write about serial killers?”
To answer that question, I must first answer the question of what made me study and obtain degrees in police forensics and criminology. I have a fascination with forensic science and how it is applied in order to solve a crime. Over the past ten years, there has been an incredible amount of scientific breakthroughs in DNA profiling and fingerprint identification to name a few....

Can Being Barefoot Improve Your Writing?
You know that exhausted and tired feeling after a long day of standing on your feet? You come home and immediately kick your shoes off and peel off your tired old socks. Ahhh, now that’s relief. You even feel a little bit lighter and brighter in spirit – perhaps a spring in your step. There’s nothing better than pressing your bare feet into a plush carpet or thick grass.
It’s been no secret that when I write my novels, I’m barefoot. Why you ask? The only answer I can convey is that I like it....

The Bystander Effect and What it Represents in Society Today
In my Emily Stone Series, my protagonist is a woman who has made the decision to get involved when she knows a crime is being committed. Emily Stone uses her intelligence, her intuition, and a few helpful pieces of technology to track the most dangerous predators in our society.

Writing in the Moment
A few years ago, I discovered the term “mindfulness” and incorporated it into my everyday life. It has help me to combat my anxiety issues. It basically means what it implies. On one level it means paying attention to details of what’s going on around you at any given time, but on a much deeper level it brings your conscious awareness to a “moment-by-moment” basis. It’s where you pay attention to what’s happening right now, but in a non-judgmental way and allowing things to be what they are...

The Art of Impression Evidence
“There is no branch of detective science that is so important and so much neglected as the art of tracing footsteps”, simply stated by the fictional detective character, Sherlock Holmes, from “A Study in Scarlet” written in 1881.
How important is impression evidence?
The shortest answer, it is extremely important to any crime scene investigation.
I find the various types of impression evidence to be a fascinating study in crime scene investigation. This is the one area, with exception to the stu...

Forensics and Criminology: How Did They Do That?
As we go about our daily routines, there are scientists hard at work trying to discover answers for the criminal justice arena, as well as breakthroughs to improve our way of life. Many of these tests, studies, and theories aren’t reported in most areas of the mass media.
When I have a moment, I love to peruse the scientific world of forensics and criminal psychology to see what is new. I found three interesting scientific studies that caught my immediate attention and I wanted to share.
