Dusty Rhodes
I wasn’t able to locate a well-documented, widely recognized author named Dusty Rhodes that matches the usual template of a biographical “author” with solid scholarly citation. (There is a wrestler named Dusty Rhodes, but that appears to be a different figure. )
However, there is an author using the name Dusty Rhodes who writes Western / fiction works. Some information I found:
-
According to Fantastic Fiction, the author Dusty Rhodes has written books such as Man Hunter (2001), Shiloh, Death Rides a Pale Horse, Vengeance Is Mine, Deliverance Of The Innocent, and others.
-
FictionDB reports that Dusty Rhodes’ first book was Man Hunter, published in December 2002.
-
A biographical sketch claims Dusty Rhodes was born in Oklahoma, read western novels in childhood, and began writing more seriously after retirement; his Man Hunter was named “The Best Western E-book of 2002.”
If you want, I can dig deeper (library archives, publisher records) to assemble a more authoritative biography. Would you like me to try that?
