JOHNSTONE JUSTICE. WHAT AMERICA NEEDS NOW. John Horton Slaughter fought on the blood-soaked battlefields of the Civil War. He drove thundering cattle across a dangerous frontier, and faced the deadliest outlaws as a Texas Ranger. Now, bestselling authors William and J.A. Johnstone tell the story of this towering historical figure—the man who tamed Tombstone, Arizona. A HERO AS BIG AND TOUGH AS TEXAS Enticed by the richest poker tournament the West has ever seen, a horde of cheating and ruthless card players is gathering at Tombstone, Arizona. Lawman John Slaughter already has his hands full when a local Romeo takes off with a rancher’s daughter and draws the ire of her father and a blood-thirsty posse. Back in town, a murder shatters the poker tournament, with a beautiful Englishwoman as the prime suspect. John Horton Slaughter has been to hell and back as a soldier, rancher and Texas Ranger, and this just might be his toughest day yet. To set things straight he’ll need every bullet he can muster, aim straight, and shoot to kill. And kill again… Forget keeping the peace. This is war. Live Free. Read Hard.

Jeder kennt jemanden, der irgendwann einmal an einer Depression gelitten hat oder noch leidet – am „schwarzen Hund“, wie sie in diesem Büchlein heißt. Matthew Johnstone war selbst über viele Jahre betroffen, seine Frau Ainsley hat ihn in dieser Zeit begleitet und unterstützt. „Mit dem schwarzen Hund leben“ hält eine Fülle praktischer Ratschläge bereit – darüber, wie man eine Depression frühzeitig erkennt, was man dagegen tun kann und was man lieber bleiben lässt, vor allem aber auch darüber, wie Angehörige helfen können, ohne dabei selbst krank zu werden. Die Johnstones haben eindringliche, berührende und oft humorvolle Bilder für das Leben mit der Depression gefunden und einen Ton, der Betroffene und ihre Angehörigen aus ihrer Isolation und Hilflosigkeit befreit, Trost spendet, Mut macht und Hoffnung verleiht.

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE DEATH RIDES FASTER THAN THE WIND. For the greatest trapper in the country, there’s no place like the Rocky Mountains. Preacher and his son Hawk are riding the High Lonesome when the clear mountain air is split by a girl’s savage screams. A gang of ruthless trappers has kidnapped a Crow woman, but before they escape with her, Preacher and Hawk burst out of the tree line, guns spitting fire. They drive the trappers off, only to find that she’s not Crow, but white. Caroline has been raised by the Crow since childhood, the only people she’s ever known. To get her home, Preacher and Hawk will have to blast their way off this mountain, gunning down kill-crazy trappers and merciless Blackfeet warriors. Because it’s never really quiet on the western front. The First Mountain Man PREACHER’S RAGE

Perley, restless like his grandfather before him, heads west to the untamed frontier. To track down his grandpa with news of his father's death, Perley finds dead ends and near-death encounters. Hostile Indians, wanted outlaws, and bloodthirsty killers are just a few of the dangers waiting for him. The closer he gets to answers, the closer he comes to meeting his Maker at the fabled gates they're named for . . .

After completing a successful cattle drive as a the chuckwagon cook, Mac signs up for another one to escape those seeking revenge for a crime he did not commit -- Amazon.

Johnstone Country. Where others fear to tread. Descended from Scottish Highlanders and blood kin to Falcon and Jamie Ian, Duff MaCallister forged a bold new life on the American frontier. But he will always stay true to his clan’s fighting spirit—when it comes to justice . . . THE STALKING DEATH There’s something rotten in Wyoming, and it’s not just the smell of cow pies—the first whiff is coming off the Laramie County Cattlemen. Right off the bat, Duff notices something odd: no small-time ranchers allowed. It’s big-leaguers only. And none are bigger than Brad Houser, owner of the sprawling Twin Peaks ranch. He’s up in arms over the small-timers claiming the unbranded mavericks who escape their herds. Which is perfectly legal. No brand, free cow. Houser has a plan to stop these former cowboys from taking their runaways. For $1000, Houser will make the small ranchers go away—six feet under. That makes Duff MacCallister madder than a wet hen . . . and his guns will do the screaming.

Johnstone Country. Frontier Spirit Lives Here. Meet Hunter Buchanon, a towering mountain of a man who learned how to track prey in Georgia, kill in the Civil War, and prospect in the Black Hills of Dakota. Now he’s trying to live a peaceful gun-free life—but fate has other plans for him . . . A MAN AND HIS COYOTE When Hunter Buchanon rescued a wounded coyote pup—and named him Bobby Lee—he had no idea the cute little varmint would grow up to be such a loyal companion. Coyotes aren’t known to be man’s best friend. Most of them are as fierce and wild as the Black Hills they roam. But Bobby Lee is different. When Hunter is ambushed on the road, Bobby Lee leaps to his defense. And when the attacker tries to shoot Bobby Lee, Hunter returns the favor by hitting the man with a rock. By the time the smoke clears, the coyote-loving ex-Confederate is covered in blood—and the other guy’s got a knife in his chest. Now Hunter has to explain it all to the local sheriff. Which is going to be tough. Because the man he just killed is the sheriff’s deputy . . .
