As an author of paranormal books, I've never had a hankering for westerns. Still, I started watching the Longmire television show on A&E when it first began. I can't really say what drew me in when I saw the preview. Maybe it is my love of "untamed" small country towns or dry humor. Maybe it was that the cast was fairly unknown to me. But there was something that made me watch the show and I fell in love with it.
