It occurs to me that many of us are those experts. So I have created a new page on this site. Please find a new tab along the top bar entitled, "Find an Expert". Use it to ask questions of our members about whatever subject you are researching, and please let us know if you have a special skill set that can benefit other thriller writers.
I present here an open invitation, calling for specific areas of expertise commonly featured in thriller novels. These areas include, but are not limited to...
- Law enforcement
- The intelligence community
- Legal experts
- Medical experts
- Experts on any religion
- Experts on any ethnic culture
- Experts on any secret society
- Illicit drug experts (from any perspective, anonymity acceptable)
- Historians specializing in any area
- Citizens/residents of any city/state/country that makes a good setting
Show us your mad skills!
Sincerely,
Kristen Elise
Hi Kristen,
ReplyDeleteI love reading well researched books! I have degrees in linguistics and Palaeolithic archaeology, so I'm happy to answer any questions related to the science of language, deep prehistory, and human evolution :)

You're brilliant! I'm currently looking for an expert in present day Scotland politics, or a resident of Scotland.
ReplyDeleteMy expertise is in single-malt scotch whisky, if anyone has a detective out there with a particularly finicky taste for his spirits.
