Authors
Giles Alfred Lutz (March 1910–June 1982) was a prolific author of fiction in the Western genre. Born in 9 March 1910 in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, Lutz for many years wrote short stories about the American West that were published in pulp magazines. His story "Get a Wild Horse Hunter," an example of his pulp fiction writing, appeared in the June 1952 edition of the magazine Western Novels and Short Stories. In the mid-1950s Lutz made the transition to full-length novels, and until his death in June 1982, published numerous stories about the American West. In 1962, Lutz won the Western Writers of America Golden Spur Award for his novel, The Honyocker. Lutz wrote under several pseudonyms during his pulp fiction career, including under the names: " James B. Chaffin," " Wade Everett (with Will Cook)," " Alex Hawk," "Hunter," " Hunter Ingram," " Reese Sullivan," and " Gene Thompson." Under the pseudonym " Brad Curtis," Lutz wrote steamy pulp novels in the erotica genre. He also wrote a lot of sports fiction for the pulp magazines, in titles like Ace Sports, Complete Sports, and Football Stories.
