A Tentative Bibliography of Ed Gorman Westerns
Heck, all I was planning to do was write a review of Guild. But, as always after finishing a book I enjoy, I wanted to see a list of the author's other titles so I could figure which to read next. And dag nab it, I couldn't find a good one anywhere. So I started poking around, trying to build my own list, and I kept finding more and more titles. From perusing the racks of used book stores, I knew Ed had written a lot of westerns, but I had no idea there were this many.
So, to make things easier on other Gorman fans, here's a first stab at a list of his western titles. What was most important for my purposes was simply the order of publication. Along the way I had to figure out which books first appeared in hardcover and which were paperback originals. And since the months of publication and publisher names were there, I tossed those in too.
I may be missing a few titles. I've undoubtedly made errors. And I'm not sure if any of the later books (other than the Cavalry Man titles) feature series characters. I'm hoping some of you other Gormanites will set me straight. I'd be happy to add a list of original short story appearances, along with the western anthologies Ed's edited, and republish this sucker with due credit to all who contribute. Thanks for looking!

I absolutely cannot keep up with these great posts. You have to slow down!
What a great service to Gorman fans. Thanks!
Check out the interview I did with Ed, you may find some other titles there to add to your list.

I was going to mention the Brothers In Blood trilogy, but I see Steve has already gave you a link to his interview which was where I learned of them.
Thanks, folks. Bill Crider has also hepped me to Fast Track. I suspect there are more.
I've read most of them, and not a rotten one in the barrel. Eh, you got cavalry right most of the time, but I'm sure you'll want to correct that first spelling. Great list.
Great list. I see at least one of his latest Berkley westerns missing: FAST TRACK; it is the second Dev Mallory title.
My favorites are: WOLF MOON, DEATH GROUND, and the Cavalry Man series. Although I have never read an Ed Gorman western that wasn't enjoyable.
Thanks for the list. Two titles are knew to me.
Wolf Moon is without a doubt the best novel I've read this year. Great stuff.
