I’m a high school freshman interested in becoming a forensic anthropologist. What advice do you have for someone looking to go into this field?
Kathy Reichs
Both psychologically and physically, the job isn't for everyone. Often, you're working with the not-so-pretty dead. Violent death. Forensic anthropologists tend to get the most severe cases, ones that can't be resolved by the pathologist through normal autopsy. Study the hard science not just take some course in general forensic science. If you want to be an anthropologist, you need to study physical anthropology specialized in bones. If you want to be a forensic chemist, get a degree in chemistry. Do you want to do DNA work? Get a degree in microbiology. And do well. Study hard and go to graduate school.

I've read all 18 of the Tempe books and look forward to reading the next one. So much better & different than the "Bones" tv show, although I like that also. I was wondering if you will ever write a sequel to, or continue the "Two Nights" novel. I really liked the characters and story?
