lzcutter Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I am very fond of his Raylen Givens books and world he has built for those characters down in Harlan County. He also wrote at least one episode a year for the series, *Justified*, that was created from his Givens books and is one of the best dramas on tv these days.
