Using Science in Writing:
A Tale of Two Linda’s
Dr. Linda Liotti and Linda J. Parisi
Come join Dr. Linda Liotti who writes as Linda Rawlins and Clinical Research Scientist Linda J. Parisi as they talk about the ins and outs of using science in writing. Being a physician speaks for itself, but as a Mystery writer, Linda Rawlins certainly knows how to kill people and the best ways to do it. She will be talking about forensics and medicine. As a research scientist, Linda Parisi has learned how to ferret out interesting scientific details to use on of all things, her vampires. So be prepared to enjoy two different uses of science in writing and perhaps you may find that twist that will help you sell your next book.
