Ian Stansel's fantastic first novel THE LAST COWBOYS OF SAN GERONIMO plays with the genre expectations of Westerns by setting the murder-revenge in northern California wine country. James and Ian discuss storytelling economy, bringing dead characters to life, horse-y literature, and conclude, "There are a lot of books." Then editor Naomi Gibbs and James discuss her career path working on 'orphaned' novels like Ian's.
