I will keep writing books whenever I need a book that hasn’t already been written, so hopefully we get more authors writing books. That was neat, and certainly having Eric Zimmerman as my co-author helped.

I would have bought them if they already were written! My first two books were published within the same year, so they competed against each other for Best Forensic Book of the Year and the X-Ways book won. How did you get started writing books for the forensic community and what ( besides the money and fame) keeps you writing?īrett: Much like any author writing forensic books, I wanted to write the books that I wish were already written by someone else. Growing up, one of my best friends spelled his name with two “t”s so we just refer to one another as Brettt so as not to offend one another.ĪDF Bret: You’re a digital forensic examiner providing private consulting and training to government agencies and you’ve also found time to write quite a few books, including Placing the Suspect Behind the Keyboard, Hiding Behind the Keyboard, and X-Ways Forensics Practitioner’s Guide, all of which have received nominations for Best Forensic Book of the Year.

ADF Bret: Hi Brett, thanks for taking time to talk! My first question is, what’s with the extra “t”? I’m just kidding of course.
