Thomas Albert Curry (1900 1976), was a 20th-century American pulp fiction writer who began writing crime and detective stories but went on to become one of the more prolific western writers in the genre. In 1923, he worked as a crime reporter for William Randolph Hearst's newspaper the New York American. Some of his early crime stories were taken from this experience. As was not uncommon in the genre, in addition to writing under his own name Curry would also write under pseudonyms including Jackson Cole, and John Benton (house name for Thrilling Publications).
