What a fantastic month we have just had! The Family Jensen: Massacre Canyon has been on all the best seller lists: The New York Times, USA Today, Bookscan, and Publisher's Weekly. Y'all have kept the Jensen boys on the charts all month and we couldn't be more proud to have such an amazing group of friends and readers. Even though Smoke and Matt and Preacher and Luke have been with us for a while, it's still a blessing to see them up there, bringing in new friends and keeping our old friends happy!

If you read last month's newsletter then you know our family has had some trying times, some injuries and health issues, over the past couple of months. We are forever grateful for your prayers and good wishes. They have lifted our heavy hearts on the darker days and kept our spirits up when we felt overwhelmed. I am thrilled to report that everyone is on the mend and we're working on getting back in the saddle, so to speak.

With that said, we've got a couple new kids on the block this month - In Day of Independence, Texas Ranger Hank Cannan has his hands full in Last Chance with some dirty deals threatening to take away the town's good fortune. And we take on the infamous murderer, John Wesley Hardin in 40 Times A Killer.

As for life on the farm, we've been keeping busy growing seedlings and we've just gotten our grapes planted as well as some cold hardy kiwis! We're all excited for this year's harvest!

I know everyone is busy this time of year so I will keep it short and sweet - I know I'd rather be out at a fishing hole, teaching the little ones how to fish and enjoying the quiet time.

Until next time, keep your powder dry and your loved ones close.

One hundred years ago, American patriots picked up rifles and fought against British tyranny. That was Boston. There the enemy was King George III and his British troops. Now, In Last Chance, Texas, in the Big Bend River country, it's Abraham Hacker, a ruthless cattle baron who will slaughter anyone who tries to lay claim to the fertile land and everything on it. For Last Chance, freedom is under siege one violent act at a time. Until wounded Texas Ranger Hank Cannan arrives in town.

Seeing the terrorized townfolk, Cannan is ready to start a second revolution. It's going to take a lot of guts. But one way or the other, Cannan is out to set Last Chance free-with bullets, blood, and a willingness to kill- or die -for the American right of freedom...

First he became a killer. Then, a legend.

He was 15 when he killed his first man. Before his murderous ways ended, Hardin killed 42 men in cold blood--one, the legend goes, because he snored too loudly. From then on John Wesley Hardin stayed true to his calling, killing man after man after man, spending most of his life being pursued by both local lawmen and federal troops.

Hardin lived a fever dream of lightning fast draws and flying lead. By the age of seventeen, Hardin earned a deadly reputation for cold-blooded killing that drew traitors, backstabbers and wanna-be gunslingers--all for a chance to gun down the man who had turned killing into an all-American legend. . .
