Summary

THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITER OF THE 21ST CENTURY

DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
Smoke Jensen has seen the worst that men can do on a lawless frontier. But even the mountain man is not prepared for what happens while he’s away from his home. An outlaw band strikes as two women are visiting at Smoke’s ranch. Now, the women are gone and a ranch hand and his young daughter are dead.
 
AND PAY THE PRICE IN BLOOD…
Outlaw Reece Van Arndt is the mastermind behind the attack, and he thinks he has Smoke where he wants him: Van Arndt will give back the women if Smoke is willing to cut a deal… It’s a ploy no sane man would ever attempt. One of the kidnapped women is desperately trying to give Smoke one last chance to find her and the killers. And when he does, no words, no money and no promises will be exchanged: only bullets—and lives . . .

Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.  
 
He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western history library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.
 
“Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,’ he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.’”
