Graphic Audio - New Release!

Falcon MacCallister never thought he’d wear army brass. But Colorado is about to join the Union-and the would-be state has just made him Lt. Colonel in its Home Guard. Then, before his military career can tak-e off, Falcon loses one of his men and two deadly new Gatling guns to a murderous ambush. Falcon is going to get those Gatling guns back--before they kill the wrong people.

Tracing the missing guns to Eastern Montana, Falcon teams up with a scout named Isaiah Dorman. Falcon and Dorman are spearheading a battle against the Sioux--in the shadow of the disastrous Little Big Horn slaughter. For the two men, survival along the Little Bighorn is going to mean breaking rules, standing strong, standing together--and holding off a deadly onslaught with only a few guns against many...

GraphicAudio - New Release!

GraphicAudio - 9: Pursuit of the Mountain Man

The trouble with being the fastest gun alive was having to prove it to all the trigger-happy gunmen who scoured the West itching for a challenge. Some travelled even further - Count Frederick von Hausen sailed across the Atlantic from German to hunt the most dangerous game of all - Smoke Jensen.

Gathering a hunting part of the toughest, most ruthless hard cases in the West, von Hausen shadowed Smoke into Wyoming's high Rockies - the odds were worse than 50 to 1. But Smoke Jensen was the last mountain man and he knew the country like the back of his hand.

As he thumbed back the hammer of his Colt .45, Smoke reflected that these back trailers couldn't have picked a prettier place to be buried.

New GraphicAudio Release - Code of the Mountain Man

The Mountain Man 8 - Code of the Mountain Man


He was raised by the mountain man called Preacher, and he was said to be the fastest gun alive. Until he hung up his gunbelts to raise a family. Smoke Jensen was the last mountain man and a force of nature.

But Lee Slater and his gang of low life desperadoes didn't know that. Stirring up a motherlode of trouble for the retired gunslinger was Slater's first mistake. Shooting Smoke Jensen’s wife Sally was his second.

He wasn’t going to live to make a third.

A madman and a killer, Preacher Joshua Shade is on a long journey to Yuma Prison and a date with the hangman. But Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves doubt that Shade will ever keep that date.

Graphic Audio New Release!

SIDEWINDERS 2 - MASSACRE AT WHISKEY FLATS

In the west, there’s always work for the kind of men willing to get their hands dirty--from rounding stray cattle to stringing barbed wire. Bo Creel and Scratch Morton are just such men. Now they’ve been hired for the one job they’ve never tried: wearing badges--in a little stain of a town called Whiskey Flats.

What Bo and Scratch don’t know is that a gang of outlaws is bent on burning down the town the Sidewinders have been hired to protect. With only a passing acquaintance of the law, a keen sense of self-preservation, and a range-war gathering round them, Bo and Scratch need a good plan or it’s a one-way ticket to Boot Hill. They’ll also need a little luck, a whole mess of bullets, and the courage to stand tall--and shoot true...

AudioFile Earphones Awards!

Two of our audio books have won the Earphones Award over at AudioFile Magazine!

The Last Gunfighter #8 - The Burning


Aging gunslinger Frank Morgan finds himself drawn back into the line of fire in this gritty tale of the Wild West by series creator Johnstone. The production is narrated by a full cast of talented actors, each as hard-nosed, lock-jawed, and trigger happy as the last. Listening to this adventure story unfold is like watching an episode of LONESOME DOVE with your eyes closed. Unfolding at a breakneck pace, the story combines all the elements that go into a soap opera—cheesy background music, over-the-top actors with grainy voices and heavy accents, and sound effects—to create a fun and memorable listening experience. A deep-voiced omniscient narrator guides listeners through the tale. L.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

The First Mountain Man #14 - Preacher's Showdown

Graphic Audio's full cast re-creates the many violent and charming characters in Johnstone's classic Western. Creative voices, music, and digital sound effects enhance the gunfights, horse-and-wagon travel, and Indian attacks that are part of the journey to the Shining Mountains. The cast members, especially those who portray precocious Jake and the powerful Preacher, give skillful performances, and the battles are exciting and frightening. The small band of travelers is divided by secrets, passions, and hatred, but Preacher holds them together and keeps them safe. At the end of each CD, listeners are told to "reload," and this adds a quirky authenticity to the moving experience of the Old West. S.C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

New on Graphic Audio - Law of the Mountain Man

The Mountain Man 6 - Law of the Mountain Man

Smoke Jensen sat in a cave and boiled the last of his coffee. He figured he was in Idaho--somewhere south of Montpelier--but he was certain about only two things: he was cold and he was being hunted by a small army of men. Smoke knew why he was cold--it was winter. He just didn't have a clear idea of why anyone was after him.

He was soon to find out that he'd unwittingly ridden into the middle of the fiercest range war in years. Now he had to either choose sides or return home tied across the back of a horse. Smoke had never taken kindly to being bullied...so when Jud Vale and his cutthroat gang started pushing him around, Smoke Jensen just pushed right back. That's when the bullets began to fly...

Welcome friends!

This is our newest adventure - branching out into undiscovered blog territory here and hoping you all join us! We wanted a place where we could share news with you on a more frequent basis and keep you updated with the goings on with the site and William W. Johnstone's releases as well as J.A's new series. It will probably take some time to get used to, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

We hope you've been enjoying the updates we've been making to the site to make it easier and more accessible for you - we've certainly been excited to receive your comments and letters about the new books we've had coming out and those planned for later this year.

The storms are pushing through here in Tennessee so that's all from me for now. Be safe and keep your powder dry.

Jo~
