Dundee will soon be featured in an upcoming Six-Gun Justice Conversation segment, but before then be sure to check out his latest Lone McGantry adventure, The Forever Mountain, or any of his other top Westerns from Wolfpack Publishing...
THE FOREVER MOUNTAIN
THE NEW LONE MCGANTRY ADVENTURE
On a journey if revenge, Lone McGantry must face the dangers of unexpected betrayals along the way... The dying request of an old friend sends former Indian scout Lone McGantry on a perilous journey from the barren Nebraska Sandhills to the ragged, snowy peaks of the Colorado Rockies. Danger dogs his trail right from the start, beginning with a pack of vengeful brothers out for his blood. Along the way, Lone crosses paths with a gang of ruthless robbers and also learns that a bounty placed on his head by a misguided cattle baron is responsible for hired guns swarming the territory in search of collecting the pay-out…
The only bright spot in any of this is the companionship of an abandoned Oriental beauty with her own desperate need to reach the mountains. Lone's grudging agreement to escort her only adds complications, but it also adds a bittersweet hint of romance he didn't know he was missing.
A WESTERN DUO
Lone McGantry is a former Indian scout for the Army, now in his late thirties, a drifting horse wrangler, cowboy and guide. He’s not fully ready to settle down but leaning gradually toward that lifestyle if he could find the right conditions...

Characters so real that you can smell the sweat and gunpowder as the situation builds toward the inevitable showdown…

Writing again under the pseudonym A.W. Hart, Wayne D. Dundee delivers another entry in the bestselling Avenging Angels Western series...
Pursuing their vow to scour the West of all demon spawn who ride for the Devil, Reno and Sara Bass, the Avenging Angels, have tracked one such villain to a corner of the Southwest unfamiliar to them. Before they're able to catch up with their quarry, however, they discover he has joined up with an outlaw gang even more ruthless than he is—the Diablo Raiders.
Inasmuch as Diablo, in Spanish, means Devil, such a group immediately broadens the focus of Reno and Sara. They soon discover that the gang is so bent on living up to their name that they use a devil-horns brand to mark both themselves and their victims. But no pack of evildoers so dedicated, no matter how vicious, can discourage the Avenging Angels.
Relying on faith, guts, and bullets to overcome all obstacles and challenges thrown in their path, the Angels pursue this Devil's horde until they rattle the very gates of Hell...

WESTERN TV SHOWS—HOTEL DE PAREE
HOTEL
DE PAREE
After seventeen years in prison for accidentally killing a man, a reformed gunfighter known as Sundance returns to Georgetown, Colorado, where he finds his Hotel de Paree now being operated by Annette Deveraux (Jeanette Nolan)—a relative of the man Sundance killed. Deveraux operates the hotel as if she were still in France instead of the Wild West causing financial problems. By the end of the first episode, Sundance and Annette become partners in the hotel. By the 5th episode they have been joined by Annette’s niece, Monique Deveraux (Judi Meredith), who arrives from France. A kinky sexual flirtation verging on a ménage à trois quickly develops between Sundance and both the Deveraux women.
Running for thirty-three, 30 minute, black-and-white episodes, the series starred Earl Holliman, and premiered on CBS during the 1959 television season. At the time Westerns were beginning to show signs of waning viewer interest. New shows were thought to need a gimmick and Hotel De Paree had one of the strangest. Instead of a gimmick gun like Josh Randall’s mare’s leg (Wanted: Dead Or Alive), or The Rifleman’s Winchester, or a useless arm ala Tate, Sundance’s gimmick was a hatband of polished silver disks worn around his black Stetson, which he uses to blinded his adversaries in a gunfight—seriously.
Sundance, however, didn’t really need the flashing disks as he was a faster gun, a better shot, and far tougher in a fist fight than anyone he comes up against. There seemed to be no official law in Georgetown, so Sundance’s takes on the role of reluctant marshal when his fast gun is needed to keep things peaceful. For a little comic relief, Sundance befriends a local shopkeeper, Aaron Donoger, played by veteran Western actor Strother Martin. Sundance also interacts regularly with his dog, Useless.
The show was loosely based on the real Hotel de Paris founded in 1875 in Georgetown, Colorado, by French immigrant Louis Dupuy. Considered the best cook in the Colorado Territory, Dupuy ran the hotel for twenty-five years, establishing it as a center of fine French dining. In some ways Dupuy anticipated the modern foodie culture, providing an unparalleled dining experience in an entirely unexpected place
In 1959, Gold Medal Books published Sundance, an original tie-in novel based on the series, written by Richard Jessup under his Richard Telfair pseudonym. A single issue Dell Comic book was issued featuring an original story written by Gaylord Du Bois.
