Kathy Reichs’ first novel Déjà Dead , published in 1997, won the Ellis Award for Best First Novel and was an international bestseller. To date, she has written twenty-two novels featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Kathy was also a producer of Fox Television’s longest running scripted drama, Bones , which was based on her work and her novels. One of very few forensic anthropologists certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology, Kathy divides her time between Charlotte, North Carolina, and Montreal, Québec. You can find her on her website or follow her on Twitter and Instagram . In this episode Kathy Reichs and I discuss: How to write each book in a series with different aspects while keeping it entertaining. Keeping the main character consistent but also allowing room for them to grow and change throughout a series. Adapting a series to television, the differences and challenges of writing a television script vs. a novel. Plus, Kathy’s #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes: diymfa.com/471…
