Luke Short, pseudonym pre Fredericka Dileyho Gliddena, sa preslávil ako uznávaný autor westernov. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú živým vykreslením Divokého západu a prenikavým pohľadom na postavy, ktoré v ňom žili. Short majstrovsky zachytáva napätie, morálne dilemy a surovú realitu života na hranici. Jeho písanie je plné akcie a dobrodružstva, ale zároveň sa dotýka hlbších tém spravodlivosti a ľudskej povahy.
