Interview with Outlaw author Jonathan Eaton on his new novel, Peter Pegg

We have a conversation with the Texan-Oregonian author Jonathan Eaton about his new novel, Peter Pegg, Outlaw, by One Who Knew Him. This is the much anticipated third and final instalment of the trilogy that began with A Good Man for an Outlaw and continued with Outlaws and Worse. We talk about frontier circuses, how to get shot by a dead man, and what turns a good man into an outlaw.
