Author Craig Johnson, writer of the extensive series of books featuring Sheriff Walt Longmire, stopped at the Northwest Passages Book Club Sept. 6, 2023 at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane, Washington and talked about his newest book, "The Longmire Defense", and about writing in general.

The first chapter can make or break a reader's engagement with a story. We as writers must craft brilliant opening pages in order to hook those picky readers, so let's study the stories of others to see how they do it! Now for the record, we're not technically in the first five pages here. The Longmire Defense is the NINETEENTH installment in Craig Johnson's Longmire series, so this story-world and cast of characters was established quite some time ago. Still, I was in the mood for a mystery in the mountainous West, and seeing the dust jacket promise a cold case investigation won me over. The opening pages appear to pick up after whatever chaos the eighteenth book (Hell and Back) brought upon Sheriff Walt Longmire. Longmire is staying with family out in the middle of nowhere when his undersheriff comes and asks him to accompany her on a basic search and rescue. According to the dust jacket, this search and rescue will lead to the reopening of the promised cold case. So I will say that Johnson is quick to put the newest tale's plot into motion. When one's so deep into a series, one really doesn't see the need for much characterization work, and that's fine. Still, it took some extra effort to catch the rhythms of dialogue between Longmire and his daughter, which pulled me out of the story. For those who have enjoyed Longmire so far (and considering the story will be adapted for Netflix, there must be quite a few of you), I've no doubt The Longmire Defense will be a welcome addition. For those of us who are new to Longmire, I am intrigued enough by these opening pages to hunt down the first book, The Cold Dish. And what will you find in those first five pages? Let's find out! Cheers!

#PodcastersForJustice The award-winning mystery writer and popular crime novelist, Craig Johnson, spoke with me about his long-running Longmire series, shotgun self-realization, and how to write good books. "How am I ever gonna get seen? Write good books." — Craig Johnson Craig is the New York Times bestselling author of the Longmire mysteries, the bedrock of the hit Netflix series of the same name. His latest novel is the 16th Sheriff Walt Longmire murder mystery, Next to Last Stand, a story that centers around Custer’s Last Fight, one of the most viewed paintings in American history.

Or was it?" In a starred review, Library Journal said of the book, "... Johnson lightens the atmosphere in this complex, thought-provoking mystery that highlights art and Western history, emphasizing the contrast between Native accounts and white history."

Show # 265. Author CRAIG JOHNSON was as entertaining as ever! This was his third appearance, and once again, he dropped insightful comments about his writing process and the development of memorable characters like Sheriff Walt Longmire, Henry Standing Bear, Vic and others. We chatted about what inspired him to write 2019's LAND OF WOLVES and he teased us with the story behind the next installment of the Longmire Mystery Series coming September 2020, NEXT TO LAST STAND.

In Craig Johnson’s latest Sheriff Walt Longmire novel, LAND OF WOLVES, while struggling to recover from his almost lethal confrontation with drug gang in Mexico he investigates the apparent suicide of a shepherd working for a powerful basque family with a history of violence. Even more complicating, a renegade wolf has been haunting the Bighorn Mountains, and the townspeople are out for blood. With both a wolf and a killer on the loose, Longmire follows a twisting trail of evidence, leading to dark and shocking conclusions. Among other things in our interview we talked about the humor of Longmire’s best friend Henry Standing Bear, his representation of the Native American tribes in Wyoming in his novel, and the return of the spiritual character Virgil White Buffalo.

"Land of Wolves, A Longmire book": The new novel in Craig Johnson's beloved New York Times bestselling Longmire series. "It's the scenery—and the big guy standing in front of the scenery—that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson's lean and leathery mysteries." —The New York Times Book Review Recovering from his harrowing experiences in Mexico, Sheriff Walt Longmire returns to Absaroka County, Wyoming, to lick his wounds and try once again to maintain justice in a place with grudges that go back generations. When a shepherd is found dead, Longmire suspects it could be suicide. But the shepherd's connection to the Extepares, a powerful family of Basque ranchers with a history of violence, leads the sheriff into an intricate investigation of a possible murder. As Walt searches for information about the shepherd, he comes across strange carvings on trees, as well as play money coupons from inside Mallo Cup candies, which he interprets as messages from his spiritual guide, Virgil White Buffalo. Longmire doesn't know how these little blue cards are appearing, but Virgil usually reaches out if a child is in danger. So when a young boy with ties to the Extepare clan arrives in town, the stakes grow even higher. Even more complicating, a renegade wolf has been haunting the Bighorn Mountains, and the townspeople are out for blood. With both a wolf and a killer on the loose, Longmire follows a twisting trail of evidence, leading to dark and shocking conclusions.
