Go West, Young Man

William W. Johnstone is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over three hundred novels in the Western adventure, military action, and chilling suspense genres. With over 35 million books in print, he is recognized as the best-selling Western writer in the world. Born in southern Missouri, he was raised with strong moral and family values by his minister father and tutored by his schoolteacher mother. He left school at fifteen to work in a carnival and then as a deputy sheriff before serving in the army. He later became known as “the Greatest Western writer of the 21st Century.”

J.A. Johnstone learned the craft of writing from his uncle, William W. Johnstone, who began tutoring him at an early age. After-school hours were frequently spent retyping manuscripts or researching his uncle’s extensive library on American Western history, as well as modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked diligently and absorbed his uncle’s teachings. He recalls, “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 Johnstone you can be.’”

J.A. Johnstone has co-written numerous bestselling series with William W. Johnstone, including The First Mountain Man, The Brothers O’Brien, Preacher, and The Last Mountain Man.
