Kathy Reichs is as close to a real-life Temperance Brennan as there is. Forensic anthropologist? Check. Crime-solving genius? Double-check. Best-selling author? Triple-check! This week, Emily and Carla snagged the Real Deal for a chat about her extraordinary life and how she became the inspiration for Bones. From her haunting accounts of real-life murder investigations, to juggling academia, forensics, fiction writing and motherhood, Kathy truly embodies Brennan’s “do-it-all” attitude and aptitude. Plus, she gives the inside scoop on the differences between the Brennan in her books and the Brennan we all know and love from the TV Series. Kathy has all the answers to your burning questions in this can’t-miss interview!
