The Wine Women and Writing radio show (sometimes called Mescal Men and Mystery, when necessary) is where Texas author Pamela Fagan Hutchins talks with other writers about stories with complex, authentic females at their cores as well as the issues women face in real life and how these translate into great reads. She does it with humor, irreverence, the occasional dive into oversharing, and — gasp — profanity and vast quantities of wine, coffee, or whatever gets us through another day.

Welcome to NYT-bestseller Craig Johnson and DEPTH OF WINTER, his upcoming Longmire release, live from the Occidental Saloon in Buffalo, WY (aka “Durant” in his Longmire novels).

 

We talk about his wonderful female characters as well as what it’s like to live in a town of 25 people, have an insanely popular Netflix show, and host Longmire Days each summer for its fans.

 

In DEPTH OF WINTER, Craig brings us Walt Longmire’s worst nightmare. An international hit man and the head of one of the most vicious drug cartels in Mexico has kidnapped Walt’s beloved daughter, Cady, to auction her off to his worst enemies, of which there are many. The American government is of limited help and the Mexican one even less. Walt heads into the one-hundred-and-ten degree heat of the Northern Mexican desert alone, one man against an army.
