About the author

Ben Wilder is about as southern as you can get. Literally. He was born in Key West, Florida. At the time, his dad was serving in the United States Coast Guard and his mom was a school teacher. Ben has three older siblings; two sisters and a brother. After gallivanting around the country (in other words: the Coast Guard moving the family and Belle the wonder dog up and down the east coast), he ended up finishing high school and college in Tallahassee, Florida. After brushing off all the sand collected over the years, he traded his flip flops for boots when he found a new city to hang his hat, Nashville, Tennessee. He's called Music City home for over 11 years now but has yet to write one single hit song. In fact, he hasn't written one terrible song yet either. The kind of writing Ben enjoys is closer to what you'll find in his books: Big and Small, God Made Them All and The Brave Bamboo.
