Robert James Russell joins Harry to discuss his new Western novel, Mesilla. Robert also talks about his draw to the Western genre, being a good literary citizen, and his unorthodox writing process.

CORRECTION: In the introduction, Harry states Robert is a 4-time Pushcart Prize nominee. Robert is, in fact, a 3-time Pushcart nominee, but we don’t love him any less for it.
