Robison Wells (born April 1978) is an American novelist.
Robison Wells, the brother of author Dan Wells, was a reluctant reader as a child. He did not become interested in writing until he was in college. He graduated from the University of Utah in 2003 with a degree in political science, emphasizing in international relations, with a minor in history, and earned an MBA in marketing at Brigham Young University in 2009. Wells lives in North Ogden, Utah, with his wife and three children. He previously lived in New Mexico, which has been the setting for three of his five published novels. Wells is a practicing member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Robison Wells first began writing as part of a writing group with Dan Wells and Brandon Sanderson.
Wells's first three books were written for the LDS fiction market. The first, On Second Thought is a romantic comedy set in New Mexico, and the second two, Wake Me When It's Over and The Counterfeit are political thrillers.
In April 2010 it was announced that Wells had signed a 3-book young adult deal with HarperTeen. The first novel Variant is a young adult science fiction novel set in a boarding school in New Mexico. It has one sequel, Feedback; it is not a trilogy.
