Tune in at 7pm ET for TONIGHT’s episode! Join us Wednesday, November 27th at 7pm Eastern on the F&F Facebook page and YouTube channel as Kristy Woodson Harvey & Mary Kay Andrews welcome New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson to discuss TOOTH AND CLAW, the new short novel in his wildly popular Longmire series, in which a young Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear face off in the Alaskan tundra with powerful enemies who will do anything to get what they want.
Craig Johnson is the New York Times bestselling author of the Longmire mysteries, the basis for the hit Netflix original series Longmire. He is a two-time recipient of the Western Writers of America Spur Award for fiction, was the first One Book Wyoming selection, and has received the Mountain & Plains Independent Booksellers Association’s Reading the West Book Award for fiction. Craig joins us from his home in Ucross, Wyoming (population 26), to discuss his new pulse-pounding, bone-chilling novel of extreme adventure, TOOTH AND CLAW, which adds another indelible chapter to the great story of Walt Longmire. Kirkus Reviews has called it "a chilling novel with all the ingredients needed to keep readers turning pages,” and we can’t wait to talk to Craig all about it. Watch the video broadcast of this interview as it airs Wed 11/27 at 7pm ET on the F&F Facebook group page & YouTube channel. Catch the audio version on our podcast Fri 11/29.
