Cottin Pickin Great

Want a good ole fashion shoot um up western? You found it! With a name like Cotton Pickens as our hero you cant go wrong. Enjoy the Ride!

Johnstone Rides Again

With this book Johnstone returns to the captivating must read style he had in his earlier works. Just enough comedy to ease the tension and enough twists to keep you wondering. His lead character comes across as "A person to ride the river with". Dave

hair raising

You and Cotton Wheeler will take a mysterious trip to find on whodunit type scene and finally find out whodidit. I am glad that Mr. Johnstone did a fine job of writing this book.

Blood valley. Definately worth a read

This story, written in first person narrative, is pulled off beautifully by Johnstone. The young anti hero, Cotton Pickens will have you rolling with laughter and on the edge of your seat with plenty of mystery and excitement. A must read if you read western fiction at all. In the book, Cotton becomes a sheriff in a small cowtown, restores order, finds a girlfriend, foils a take over of the town, stops greedy landgrabbers, kills several night riding farm burners, and keeps the peace while keeping you in hysterics. William Johnstone is at the top of his game with this book.
