I am a writer, poet and author of The Real CSI: A Forensic Handbook for Crime Writers. With over 15 years as a serving CSI, I have combined the passion of my job with my love for writing and have advised many crime writers on how they can add veracity and authenticity to their writing. I am currently working on my own crime fiction trilogy and continue to write and perform my poetry
