THE NO ALIBI ZONE
where solving crimes is serious business.
This is not a place to glorify murder. While I do craft diabolical murders as a mystery writer, I spend the bulk of my time figuring out how my characters will use their skill, intellect, and wit to catch the killers. And that’s mostly what we’ll explore here. What goes on behind the scenes when investigating the crime and murder.
Your avenues of exploration include:
• Let’s Talk About Murder (LTAM)—a monthly online newsletter interviewing the people who talk about, write about, or investigate murder, including law enforcement, medical examiners/technicians, crime beat journalists, authors, podcasters, and more.
• The Murder Brief – a monthly blog where I’ll research and discuss a myriad of topics, including murder investigation techniques, the body farm, cadaver dogs, and how writers continually turn something horrible into something entertaining, and much more.
• Recommended books – True crime books and podcasts I can honestly recommend.
If you enjoy the “how dunnit’ aspects of murder mysteries, I think you’ll enjoy what The No Alibi Zone has to offer. My goal is to enlighten and even educate so that we’ll all have a new appreciation for the real world work that goes into catching the people who prey upon others.
