One of the things I love most about these interviews is the chance to sit with a writer who’s living at the intersection of two demanding worlds and still choosing to put stories on the page. Dr. Elizabeth McKinnon is a forensic pathologist and a mystery writer — someone who has learned how to hold both the clinical and the creative without letting either one hollow her out.
I asked her the same questions I put to every guest in this series. Her answers are honest, specific, and full of the kind of hard-won clarity that only comes from years of showing up.
Every time I talk with Elizabeth, I’m struck by her kindness and compassion. And her novels are just plain fun. Help me celebrate her journey and let her know which point resonated with you the most.
