His debut, Ubåt-kontakt, was released in 1961, written under his real name. The same year he released his first book set in the old West, Portrett av en revolvermann ("Portrait of a Gunslinger"). In addition Kjell Hallbing was an avid weapons collector, resulting in his collection being one of the largest privately owned weapons collections in Norway at the time of his death. He also owned a little house at Bolkesjø, where he actually wrote most of the books in the Morgan Kane series. Other "heroes" Hallbing/Masterson wrote about included Jesse Rawlins, Owen Metzgar and Clay Allison. Before he started to write full-time in 1969, Hallbing worked as a bank employee. He is buried at Oslo Western Civil Cemetery. (en)
