He Had to Walk Away From the Page… | The Emotional Truth Behind Corbin Dwyer Part 2
In Part 2 of the Corbin Dwyer series, we go deeper than plot twists and action scenes. We step inside the emotional core of two powerful novels:
Blood Will Tell and Dead Man’s Tab.
These aren’t just crime thrillers. They are stories born from grief, legacy, and a son processing the loss of his father.
In this intimate conversation, Thaine Chase opens up about the emotional weight behind these books, the moments he had to walk away from the manuscript just to gather the strength to continue writing. He shares how writing Corbin Dwyer became more than storytelling… it became catharsis.
We explore:
• The teacher vs. student showdown in Blood Will Tell
• Resurrection, vengeance, and reckoning in Dead Man’s Tab
• Why readers were SHOCKED by the emotional depth
• The unexpected outpouring of love for the character Thelma, and calls for her own series
• How grief reshapes creativity
• What happens when fiction becomes personal healing
This episode pulls back the curtain on what it really costs an author to write from the deepest parts of himself.
Because sometimes the most powerful battles aren’t fought with weapons
they’re fought on the page.
If you’ve read these books, this conversation will change how you see them.
If you haven’t, you may never look at a thriller the same way again.
Welcome to the side of storytelling most readers never get to see.
