Terry Harknett (born 1936) is a British author. He is author of almost 200 books, mostly pulp novels in the western and crime genres. He has written as a ghostwriter for Peter Haining and under an array of pseudonyms, including George G. Gilman, Joseph Hedges, William M. James, Charles R. Pike, Thomas H. Stone, Frank Chandler, Jane Harman, Alex Peters, William Pine, William Terry, James Russell and David Ford. Some bibliographies list Adam Hardy as one of Harknett's pseudonyms, in fact a nom de plume of Kenneth Bulmer. This is an error [1] resulting from incorrect copyright information printed in one of the Edge westerns.

He has written a number of series including:

  • Steve Wayne (9 books under his own name)
  • Crown (3 books under his own name)
  • Edge (61 books as George G. Gilman)
  • Adam Steele (49 books as George G. Gilman)
  • Edge Meets Adam Steele (3 books as George G. Gilman)
  • The Undertaker (6 books as George G. Gilman)
  • The Revenger (12 books as Joseph Hedges)
  • Apache (27 books as William M. James)
  • Jubal Cade (3 books as Charles R. Pike)
  • Chester Fortune (5 books as Thomas H. Stone)

Harknett's westerns have been identified as an influence by authors including Robert J. Randisi [2] and Peter Brandvold.[3]

Dear Candy

by: Ryan Adams

I was never near
just a shadow on your walls
I was never here at all.
Dear Candy...
I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.
Dear Candy...
This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.
You were never mine.
I was never yours.
Whoah, Candy.
Oh, Candy.
Do you see me in your dreams?
Do you whisper my name?
Do you hear when my static rings in your ears?
Candy
I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.
Dear Candy...
This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.
I was never here at all.
