Alan Wild is a Denver‑based author of action and mystery, crafting stories that move fast and leave a lasting impression. He’s been a storyteller for as long as he can remember, always drawn to the tension between what people reveal and what they keep hidden. That curiosity shapes the way he writes, giving his thrillers a grounded, human edge.
When he’s not working on a new plot twist, Alan is navigating a home ruled by two unforgettable personalities: a superstar Great Dane with main‑character energy and a grumpy macaw who never hesitates to voice his opinions. Their chaos, humor, and stubborn charm keep his days unpredictable and often inspire the quirks that slip into his characters.
Alan finds his best ideas in the real‑life stories of the people he meets. A single conversation or small detail can spark an entire narrative. He believes every mystery begins with a moment of connection, and that the most compelling stories come from the truths people carry beneath the surface. Whether he’s writing about a chase or a quiet betrayal in a small town, he approaches each story with the conviction that every mystery is ultimately about people and the choices they make when pressure rises.
