"I'm working on my next book." Brennan set her pencil down and turned her attention to her own sandwich, which she'd been neglecting. She tried to think of something to ask him, but she'd always been terrible at small talk, so instead of saying anything else, she took a bite.

"I'm not sure yet. I'm going through some of my old cases to see if any of them would be interesting jumping-on points."

"I don't use the cases themselves. I wouldn't sensationalize real deaths that way." As much as Brennan respected anything, she respected the dead. "But if I didn't include real forensics and plausible scenarios, the books would be pure science fiction. I find drawing on my own experiences very valuable."
