Josh Lowder is the author of the historical conspiracy thriller, The Cornerstone. As a former police officer and current fraud investigator in financial crimes, he blends his experience in criminal investigations and passion for history into crafting gripping, real-life narratives.

Born and raised outside of Nashville, Tennessee, Josh earned his bachelor's degree from Union University before spending several years residing in South Louisiana where the landscape, history, and culture left a lasting impression on his writing. Josh has since settled back in Tennessee with his wife and daughter, and their dog Jax, where he continues to pursue his love of storytelling. When he is not writing he can be found watching history documentaries, hiking the many trails scattered throughout Tennessee, or playing fetch with Jax.
