This intimate evening features Johnson in conversation with The Post and Courier's award-winning journalists, exploring his craft of bringing the American West to life on both page and screen.

You'll hear personal insights, behind-the-scenes stories from the Netflix adaptation, and inspiration from a master storyteller—all within the warm, conversational atmosphere that makes these events truly special.
Charleston Porch Talks is the inaugural speaker series of The Post and Courier's Journalism Preservation Society, a membership-driven community where citizens ensure South Carolina gets the investigative reporting it deserves. All proceeds benefit The Post and Courier's Public Service & Investigative Fund, which funds the newsroom's investigative reporting and public service journalism, ensuring that local journalism continues to thrive in South Carolina. Buxton Books, Charleston's event-focused independent bookstore, is the official bookselling partner for Charleston Porch Talks. Visit them at 160 King Street or online at buxtonbooks.com.
A selection of Johnson's bestselling books including his first novel "The Cold Dish" and his latest "Return to Sender" will be available for purchase at the event from Buxton Books.
