Robison Wells (born April 1978) is an American novelist. He lives in Provo, Utah, with his wife and three children. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and his novels are directed to the LDS fiction market. He graduated from the University of Utah in 2003 with a degree in political science, and earned an MBA in marketing at Brigham Young University in 2009.[1]
In April 2010, it was announced in Publisher's Marketplace that Wells had signed a 3-book YA deal with HarperTeen.[2] Wells' book Variant was published in October 2011, and tells the story of Benson Fisher, who applies to the Maxfield Academy, a private school, after living for years in foster homes. He wants his life to change for the better, but he never anticipates that the school is a prison, everyone belongs to a gang, and secrets are everywhere. Variant was named one of the Best Books from 2011 in Publisher's Weekly. [3]
