Every year from 2011 to 2021, the Johnstone name appeared on a Christmas-themed Western novel. Each book is set in a different part of the American frontier during the holiday season. The settings range from the Texas Hill Country to the Colorado Rockies to the Arizona desert, and the stories mix the usual Western action with holiday warmth and seasonal dangers like blizzards and snowbound passes.
Several of these books tie into other Johnstone series. A Jensen Family Christmas brings in characters from the Mountain Man and Jensen Brand books, and A MacCallister Christmas connects to the Duff MacCallister series. But each one works fine as a standalone read, and they make a good entry point for readers who want to try a Johnstone Western without committing to a long series.
