One of my all-time favorite guests is Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Mystery Series. Craig has appeared on the show twice before, in Episode 73 and Episode 135. Today Craig joins me to talk about his latest book The Western Star, writing a mystery with a “compressed setting”, what’s new with Walt and Company, the Netflix television series and if this is really the end of Longmire, Agatha Christy, writing three dimensional characters, and much more.
