Cotton Pickens is a small-town sheriff who is brave and well-meaning but not all that bright. The series gets its humor from watching Cotton blunder his way through dangerous situations using more nerve than brainpower. Despite his limitations, he somehow manages to keep his town in one piece.

Published between 2011 and 2013, the three Cotton Pickens books are some of the more lighthearted entries in the Johnstone catalog. Titles like Massacre Mountain, Wyoming Slaughter, and Support Your Local Deputy promise the usual frontier violence, but the comedic voice of the narrator keeps things from getting too heavy.
