Plus, writing and rethinking the literary western - to discuss the genre, Kevin is joined by authors Scott Preston and Anna North. Scott's debut novel is Cumbrian western The Borrowed Hills - a farming story set at the time of foot and mouth, and Anna North is the author of queer, feminist western, Outlawed.
