A good reminder for us writers to stick with our own basic research.Judith Yates Borgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989317858819225597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-27757958497268342272011-05-04T15:49:36.048-07:002011-05-04T15:49:36.048-07:00Wow.

I love when a reader tells me they feel as if they're right there with me--it tells me I did my job right. Makes the autopsy well worth it and shows the importance of experiencing what I write about.ANDREW E.

Glad you linked to it, Drew. You know, attention to detail beyond what you have to do is PROBABLY a part of what has your book still in the top 25 on the bestseller list nearly a year after release!<br /><br />btw, I enjoyed this post even more than other posts you have done on the autopsy as I truly felt as if I was (were :0) walking into it with you. You definitely have a way of pulling your readers into the scene -- whether a blog post of your stories.LINDA'S BOOK GARDENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380644949713158187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-20738594158052415542011-05-04T11:54:41.271-07:002011-05-04T11:54:41.271-07:00What a great post!

Our kids were exposed to the "spaghetti stuff" inside a manatee from an early age, but the smell of rotting marine mammal blubber ... there's no way to describe it. <br /><br />Not sure I could handle watching humans being autopsied, though. Thanks for sharing. My deputy sheriff ride along experience pales in comparison! <br /><br />Terry<br /><a href="http://terryodell.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Terry's Place</a>Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-31372912318909373542011-05-04T08:46:31.233-07:002011-05-04T08:46:31.233-07:00Great post.

Their autopsy tables are different from what you described, but everything else is essentially the same. And in the desert southwest, body storage is a bit more, um . . . stacked. Students trying to obtain full accreditation really want to land in Tucson because they can usually get the required number of autopsies under their belts a little faster.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-45948968075319017782011-05-04T08:08:03.602-07:002011-05-04T08:08:03.602-07:00Great post.

But I have had detailed conversations with the medical examiner about the process, so my autopsy scenes are realistic.L.J.

So glad I don't have to actually see--or smell--the partless corpses or the organs for myself, though. A very informative article, which I'm sure will be of high interest to other crime writers--and readers. Dare I read the chapter? Maybe I'll pass on that!

You're made out of a lot stronger stuff than I. The chapter in your book is as close as I ever want to be to an autopsy.<br /> <br />I, for one, truly appreciate all you and other authors give of yourselves to give us a great story.Nissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043154807861670942noreply@blogger.com
