In crime fiction, getting the forensic details right isn’t just a bonus—it’s the difference between amateur and unforgettable. In this no-holds-barred session, board-certified forensic pathologist and author Mary Jumbelic takes you deep into the realities of death investigation, wounding, and evidence analysis. You’ll learn how to describe bodies with chilling precision, capture the nuances of homicides, and weave real forensic science seamlessly into your plots. This is the training ground where serious writers separate themselves from the pack.
