Craig JOHNSON IS MY FAVORITE AUTHOR at this time. We’ve watched the series 3 times, and now my husband and I are reading his books. They are even better than the series! He is so talented, and wonderful in describing Wyoming. I have always loved that state since spending two years as a child in Veteran Wyoming on my Aunt’s farm.

I don't know how I missed this great interview. I'm late to the party as usual. Very illuminating. I'm on my third viewing of "Longmire."

This video demonstrates the template for a GREAT interview.  Craig is invariably delightful to listen to regardless of venue, and Sarah has displayed a remarkable talent as an interviewer.  Well done from every angle!  That said, 6 seasons of Longmire the TV series was far too few.  Too bad it didn't have the longevity of the Gunsmoke series.

I just discovered Longmire on Netflix during the 2020 Pandemic. I love all the cast, my favorite being the Sheriff. I binge watched the entire Series in a week, and my husband loved it too. I am sad that I can't watch any more shows. It ended well, even though I'd love to see more. I think Walt Longmire deserves some time to enjoy life. HIs daughter would make a great sheriff, and Henry will be perfect as the head of the casino. I am a big reader so I am going to have to get your books, and hope they don't ruin the Netflix series for me. The book is ALWAYS better than the movie. You almost look like Branch's brother too. Was that intentional? I enjoyed this series the most out of any series on TV. PLease keep writing!

I love his writing far too much to watch any film based on it.

Walt has a dry sense of humor which is great in how they write it for the show.

I love Saratoga, Wyoming!! Don’t forget the “original” western author, Zane Grey!!!
