About Jeanne Adams

She’s a sought-after speaker, teaching classes on body disposal for writers, worldbuilding and collaboration, plotting for pantzers and how to write a fight scene that works!
Jeanne lives in Washington, DC with her husband and two growing sons, as well as three dogs – two Labs and an Irish Water Spaniel. Don’t tell, but she’s prone to adopting more dogs when her husband isn’t looking.
You can find her books on all major platforms, and connect with her on the web at: www.JeanneAdams.com
Description:
You’re writing your fabulous novel and, as you go on, you realize you absolutely HAVE to kill someone to make the plot work. In order to bring that hero/heroine together, or tear them apart, and tangle everyone up over wills, funerals, murder, mysterious death or serious mayhem, someone’s got to die.
Once you’ve silenced that nagging dead guy, then what? You have to do SOMETHING with the body, but what? Whether or not you want the forensics, murder, death or dis-appearance to be central to your story, there is that annoying dead guy to dispose of. Discover the pernicious particulars of body disposal and how to trip up your characters, throw them together or drive them apart with the particulars of the business of death.
Takeaways:
- Learn about embalming, burying, vaults, cremation, coroner’s reports, death certificates and more.
- Learn what “natural” methods will trip up your killer – sharks, crocs and vultures, oh my!
- Learn what rules are in the state you’re setting your story in – coroner, medical examiner or pathologist.
- Learn what happens in mass deaths and/or industrial accidents and how to write it.
- Learn about military funerals and burial at sea, and much, much more!
