Jude Hardin has published over a hundred books across a dozen interconnected series since 2011. The Nicholas Colt books form the core of his early work, following a private investigator through ten books of hard-edged crime fiction. The character crossed over with J.A. Konrath’s Jack Daniels and with Diana Dawkins in separate spin-off series.
His later output expanded into the Reacher Experiment and Jack Reacher Files series, action thrillers featuring Rock Wahlman. The Midnight Creek Investigations series continued this thread with eleven more books of fast-paced suspense. Hardin also contributed extensively to The Dead Man, a shared-world horror series with twenty-four installments.
The iSEAL and Cam Retro series round out his catalog, along with time-travel westerns in the Stranded in the Old West books. Hardin writes with a pulp-fiction energy that keeps his many series moving at a consistent pace.
