The Jensen Brand series carries the Johnstone Western dynasty into the next generation. After decades of books about Smoke Jensen, this five-book series shifts the spotlight to his children and other younger members of the Jensen family. They have grown up in the shadow of one of the most famous gunfighters in Western fiction, and now they have to prove they can handle trouble on their own.
Starting with The Jensen Brand in 2017 and running through 2022, the series includes titles like Too Soon to Die and Rising Fire. The family ranch serves as home base, but the younger Jensens find themselves pulled into conflicts that stretch across the frontier. For long-time readers of the Mountain Man books, this series is a natural continuation. For newcomers, it works as a standalone family saga set in the late frontier era.
