C.J. Box, who is a New York Times Best-Selling author of a series of books about Game Warden Joe Pickett, as well as stand alone thrillers, talked about his latest Pickett book, “Off the Grid.”
The Wyoming based author will be doing a book signing tonight at 7 p.m. at the Laramie County Library. He was kind enough to do a question and answer session about his latest book for Life is as Sweet as Cotton Candy.
According to his official website “Off the Grid” is about Nate Romanowski, who is off the grid, recuperating from wounds and trying to deal with past crimes, when he suddenly is confronted by a small team of elite professional special operators. They’re not here to threaten him, but to make a deal. They need help destroying a domestic terror cell in the Red Desert, and in return, they’ll make Nate’s criminal record disappear.
But they are not what they seem, as Joe Pickett discovers. They have a much different plan in min and it just may be something that takes them all down, including Nate and Joe. And if there is other collateral damage? That’s just the fortunes of war.
Here is Box’s Q and A session:
Q: Did you spend a lot of time in the Red Desert in order to do research for your new book?
Box: “I’ve been to the Red Desert several times over the years so I’m familiar with it (although by no means an expert). I once witnessed a herd of wild horses running across the desert and we spotted desert elk as well. It’s a fascinating and very remote location.”
Q: When you created Joe Pickett for your first book did you ever imagine that he would be such a great character that helped create such a long standing series of books for you? How does that feel?
Box: “Nope — when I wrote OPEN SEASON I thought I was writing a stand-alone that I hoped would be published and appreciated by people in Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain region. I didn’t have a series in mind at the time but I’m glad it worked out that way. When the last book, ENDANGERED DEBUTED AT #2 New York Times bestseller list I was thrilled. I never expected the books to do as well.”
Q: What do you like the most about writing?
Box: “Portraying the modern west and the issues that dominate it.”
Q: Any interesting news about movies or TV shows about your books?
Box: “Nothing to announce yet although there are some really exciting prospects out there.”
