Most of you are probably wondering: Why digital forensics and law enforcement?

I’ve worked as a trade magazine writer specializing in law enforcement for nearly a decade. I’ve covered a wide variety of topics, but most centered on digital forensics and information sharing. See the articles I’ve written here.

Social networking put me in touch with a wider array of law enforcement and digital forensics professionals, who over time expressed a need for better connections with one another, a better way to show what they could do for each other and the customers or constituents they serve. These professionals are the people I work with to develop my blog; I’ve also coauthored articles with some of them, and others I call friends.

In addition to writing, I have edited book-length work and consulted both individuals and organizations on their website content and design. I blog about law enforcement use of social media on my site Cops 2.0 as well as at CrimeReports’ blog The Crime Map.

When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons, reading, and swimming. I live in upstate South Carolina.
