We're two friends keeping in touch through the power of books, and this week, we have a special episode for you! We had the pleasure of interviewing Joshua Corin, author of Assume Nothing—a gripping YA thriller set in the ‘90s, following a famous detective and a determined young girl still searching for answers. We discover the inspiration behind this twisty, nostalgic page-turner and what drew Joshua to writing thrillers for teens.

But that’s not all! We also chat with Joshua about his other exciting projects, including his experience writing for Marvel and what it’s like crafting stories across different genres. If you love thrillers, comics, or just a great behind-the-scenes look at writing, this is an episode you won’t want to miss! You can learn more about Joshua and his work at joshuacorrin.com.
