Taylor Callahan, Circuit Rider

From the greatest western writers of the 21st century, William W. Johnstone and J.A.

MEET TAYLOR CALLAHAN, TRAVELING PREACHER.

In his younger days, Taylor Callahan didn’t know right from wrong--and didn’t much care either. As a Confederate bushwhacker, renegade outlaw, and all-around hellraiser, he gave the devil himself a run for his money. Most folks figured Taylor would end up swinging from a noose or shot dead in poker game. But somewhere along the road to perdition, he decided to change his wicked ways. To atone for his sins. And to fight the good fight--against the evil that men do...

So he became a traveling preacher.

But Taylor Callahan is no ordinary preacher. He rides the western circuit looking to help lost souls. But his mission of peace takes a violent turn when he enters the godforsaken town of Falstaff, Texas. Better known to locals as ＂False Hope,＂ this one-time paradise has become a purgatory for homesteaders--thanks to a greedy rancher, corrupt mayor, and notorious confidence man. Even so, Callahan vows to keep his Colt .45 in his saddle bag. But when these lowlife devils pull out sticks of dynamite, a man has to do what a man has to do--before the whole town is blown to kingdom come...

J.A. Johnstone learned to write from the master himself, Uncle William W. Johnstone, who 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 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.
