The Devil's Badland (Loner Pinnacle Books): Pinnacle Books)

The Loner strides sets out for another bloody showdown with the outlaws responsible for his wife's violent and senseless murder--and discovers his true enemy was far closer than he thought. . .

Hell Hath No Fury. . .

After Conrad Browning, known as The Loner, takes down the men who killed his beloved wife, he hightails it to New Mexico to visit her grave. There, he gets the surprise of his life: His ex-fiancée, Pamela Tarleton, backed up by a vicious gang of gunmen. Turns out the beautiful Miss Tarleton has a long memory--and she's never forgiven Conrad for breaking their engagement and marrying another. On top of that, she blames Conrad for her father's death. With a band of kill-crazy outlaws backing Pamela's play, the only way out for The Loner to survive the coming hell storm is by the gun.

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.'
