    Chatting with Joshua Cohen!

    This upside down (and rather attractive if I do say so myself) author is none other than Joshua C. Cohen. Today I’m pleased to have him stopping by my blog for an author interview! However, I couldn’t make it easy on him. Oh no, this takes work. So Josh had to answer all my questions using only lines from his book. You know what though? He showed me! His answers are fantastic! Take a look. ***** 1. Leverage is being made into a movie. What’s the tagline for your movie poster? “Sometimes, sir, there’s just a meanness in this world.”…
