Steve Kelton

Steve Kelton is the son of Western novelist Elmer Kelton (1926-2009). After his father's death, the Elmer Kelton Estate authorized him to continue the long-running Hewey Calloway series, and he wrote The Unlikely Lawman (2022) as its fourth installment, followed by The Familiar Stranger (2024), co-written with John Bradshaw. Both books are published under the branding "Elmer Kelton's [Title]," continuing his father's character while crediting the actual writers. Beyond his work continuing Hewey Calloway, this catalogue does not hold independent, verified biographical detail about Steve Kelton -- no confirmed birth year, other writing credits, or career history outside the Kelton estate's continuation project could be established from the sources used to build this catalogue.
