Thread: How done it

I was listening to a Q & A session with Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files, and he mentioned a Writer's Digest series named "How done it". I have searched online and can't find any reference to such a series. This is the resource Jim Butcher tapped to get insight into police procedures and a number of other topics necessary to complete his works. If anyone knows about this series, and possibly can share a link to where I can order it, I would appreciate it. Also, if there are resources that members know about to find this kind of information, please share!

I googled for 'How Done It' and first up was this thread. Then I found the site for the California Mystery Writers of America called 'Who Done it', so I think the MWA is probably a good place to look. I'm curious too, so I'll check further. Here we go a google-ing, a google-ing...

First up was what thread? I just did another Google check, and all I got was results for "Who done it" and what might be a good find from eHow.com. I'm hoping to get hold of the Writer's Digest version.

I found out that it was because I mangled the spelling. I used conventional spelling, but the books are named "Howdunit". I found some at the local Borders book store. So far I've picked up the police procedures and investigations, and it has been a treasure trove of information about law enforcement. I don't like books that use extremely vague descriptions or scenes involving interactions with law enforcement, as I feel like they're just making things up as they go. Of course, that is what they're doing, and what we all do, but I think fundamental facets of life should be represented as close to their factual form as possible, unless they're specifically different for a reason important to the story.
