Kathy Reichs

Kathy Reichs's Website

Kathleen Joan "Kathy" Reichs was born in Chicago in 1950. She is a professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and also works for the state of Quebec. As a real life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs never has to stray to far from her day job for inspiration for her novels. Kathy has an impressive resume from college professor, author, working with the UN, FBI, and State Medical Examiners in Canada and the US. She also serves as a producer for the hit TV show Bones, loosely based on her novels, to "keep the science real".
It is easy to see how she can write accurate thrillers and mysteries, and she is well versed in the real techniques used by actual law enforcers. The central character in her books, Temperance "Tempe" Brennan, is also a forensic anthropologist, although the character is not strictly autobiographical, Tempe does mimic her creator in many ways.
