The television or movie screen is the closest most people will ever come to witnessing the forensic world. But Jennifer Dornbush actually lived it. As a daughter of a medical examiner, whose office was in her home, she investigated her first fatality, an airplane crash, when she was 8 years old. Since that first case she has had decades of on-sight experience in death investigation and 360 hours of forensic training through the Forensic Science Academy.
Jennifer now uses these experiences to pen crime fiction for film, TV, and novel. Currently, Jennifer has several crime drama series being developed for television; her mystery novel series, The Coroner, releases in 2018.
Wanting to share her love of forensics with other storytellers, she scribed non-fiction work, Forensic Speak: How To Write Realistic Crime Dramas, published by Michael Wiese Productions, hailed as a north star to creating authentic crime dramas.
She teaches seminars and speaks on writing crime fiction for screen and novel, surviving and thriving the artist's life, the novelization process of scripts, crime scene science, forensic fundamentals, and death investigation. A more complete list of seminars is found on her website.
She is frequently asked to consult with writers and has consulted on shows such as: Beauty & The Beast Deception Hawaii Five-O Leverage Prison Break Rectify Revolution Suits White Collar Conviction
Jennifer hosts a YouTube channel on forensics and crime writing. She has also taught webinars on crime writing through Writer's Digest; and collaborated with The Writers Store and Script Magazine to produce a video on crime writing for writers. She has taught screenwriting on the high school and university level and mentored writers through the Act One Program, Regent University, and Universita Catholica Milano.
Some of her past speaking clients include The Writers Store, Great American Pitchfest, Crime Writers Weekend, Sisters in Crime, Greenhouse, Act One, Scriptwriters Network, Romance Writers of America, Mystery Writers of America, Story Expo, American Christian Fiction Writers, Highbridge Film Festival, and Universita Cattolica Milano, Italy; Write Canada, and the Pacific Northwest Writers Group.

Her half-hour forensic comedy, Home Bodies, received a Humanitas' New Voices Award. Her feature film, God Bless the Broken Road, with God's Not Dead director, Harold Cronk, is slated for release in 2018. She also penned the novel adaptation for Howard Books/Simon & Schuster.
