Kathy Reichs:
I love reading books in order of publication, as there is often a story line or character development that reveals itself. Do you start books with enough of a summary to support that type of reading, or is each book a stand-alone effort, except for the known character? Also, I doubt that you have any control over this, but I love it when books are available early in the publication in audio format for us busy ladies

In some ways, it gets easier as you continue to write a series with the same core characters. You get to know your characters better. But it also gets harder because when someone picks up a Temperance Brennan book for the first time, you have to introduce the main premise and the core characters. But, on the other hand, it may be the 19th book someone’s reading, so you don’t want to bore that reader with repetitious details.

Dear Kathy, I absolutely love your books, how did you get started writing the Tempe Brennan series? I love the detail you add to your books. I am trying to read all of your books. They are so fascinating. I'm interested in the forensics, how you can tell the difference in male female, race etc. I find it amazing what bones can tell us. Thank you for the great books and lessons you have shared. A huge fan, Linda. :)

Kathy Reichs:
I've read some of the Bones books, and I'm also a huge fan of the TV show. The character of Temperance Brennan is quite different in the television version than she is in the literary version. How do you feel about your character's changes, and do you have a preference as to which Temperance you like better?
