Wayne D. Dundee started writing crime fiction in the 1980s, publishing Joe Hannibal short stories in pulp magazines before the character graduated to novels. Hannibal is a blue-collar PI working out of a fictional Midwest town, and Dundee’s approach to the character owes more to the gritty pulp tradition than to the glamorized private eye of film noir.

His western output has been even more extensive. The Lone McGantry series alone runs to twelve books, following a wandering gunfighter through the Old West. Dundee also contributes to shared-world western series including Blaze! and Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles, writing entries alongside other authors in collaborative western universes.

With over eighty books across fourteen series, Dundee has been one of the more prolific writers in American genre fiction over the past four decades.
