Was there a western book author with the first name Lane?

It's difficult to say definitively without more information. There are many authors who write Western fiction, and it's possible one of them has "Lane" as their first name.

To help me find the author you're thinking of, could you provide any additional details? For example:

* Last name: Do you remember any part of the author's last name?

* Titles: Do you recall any of the books they wrote?

* Time period: When did you last read their books?

With more information, I can give you a more accurate answer.
