Author C.J. Box talks nonpartisan writing, inspiration for timely "Storm Watch": Wyoming Tribune Eagle
“One thing is made clear at the beginning of “Storm Watch,” the 23rd entry in C.J. Box’s long-running Joe Pickett series — the titular character has officially been labeled as a “s--t magnet.”
At this point, readers have to suspend their belief that the now 51-year-old Wyoming game warden could have possibly stumbled into this many predicaments during his career.
But throughout the first several chapters of “Storm Watch,” there are plenty of references from Pickett and the supporting cast of characters about Pickett’s regular involvement in the most extreme cases of criminal activity to arise out of north-central Wyoming.”
