Paul L. Thompson writes Western fiction at a pace that few authors can match. With hundreds of books across multiple series, he has built a large catalog of frontier lawmen, bounty hunters, and Texas Rangers. His stories are set in the American West and follow U.S. Marshals and other law enforcement figures as they chase outlaws across rugged territory.
His three biggest series are U.S. Marshal Shorty Thompson, Jubal Stone: U.S. Marshal, and Timber: United States Marshal. Each features a recurring lawman character, but most individual entries work as standalone reads. Thompson also writes shorter series focused on bounty hunters, Texas Rangers, and frontier ranching life.
