Boone Wilder is the kind of storyteller you don’t just read—you hear him in your head, like a voice crackling over an old radio, telling you about a place you’ve never been but somehow already know. Born from real-life grit and forged in the wild corners of America, Boone is more than a pen name—he’s the spirit of a man who lived it all and came back with stories to tell.

Raised along the Withlacoochee River in Florida and later serving as a lawman, police chief, and mayor in the rugged outposts of Alaska, Boone Wilder blends true-crime insight with front-porch wisdom and cinematic grit. His books take you from mossy swamps to Arctic storms, from childhood mischief to bone-chilling murder scenes. Some call it memoir. Some call it true crime. Boone just calls it truth be told.

Boone Wilder is the literary lens of a real man—one who chased gators as a boy and justice as a man. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to grow up wild and finish wise, you’re in the right place.
