Missed our live conversation last Friday? You can still catch the full recording featuring best-selling authors C.J. Box and Tess Gerritsen.

During the conversation with editor Samantha Dunn, the two acclaimed suspense writers shared the inspiration behind their latest work and offered a peek behind their creative process:

C.J. Box (Joe Pickett, ABC’s Big Sky) discussed how his early career in journalism shaped his approach to writing crime fiction, the real-life inspiration behind outlaw Nate Romanowski, and his short story "The Falcon Miscalculation" in the Birds of Prey anthology.

Tess Gerritsen (Rizzoli & Isles) introduced her Martini Club thriller series, including The Shadow Friends. She reveals how her real-life neighbors—former CIA operatives—inspired her portrayal of espionage, why she writes first drafts longhand and her peculiar rivalry with local seagulls.
