I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
Sometimes. Perhaps 10% of the time.
Again, I'm not an expert in public safety policy, so I don't know any more about the implications than you do.

Yes, absolutely. I can’t think of anything I’d enjoy as much.
