Royce Wilson…
I have more than 4 decades in law enforcement forensics, working in every capacity from Crime Scene Investigator with the Tampa Police Department, to fingerprint expert and up to Director of Forensics with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Tampa, Florida. I also taught Criminal Forensics and Death Investigations as an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice with the University of North Georgia. I love Dahlonega!
During my career, I have covered a lot of ground, working in crime scenes, ranging from burglaries, to robberies, sexual batteries, homicides, and everything else—including at least 7 different serial murder investigations.
I am huge college football fan—Go Gators!
and…
Go USF Bulls!…they educated me, which was not an easy task!
I now relax at my home near central Florida where I enjoy writing and spending time with my wife, Linda, our psycho cat, Sterling, and friends and family.

“Royce Wilson has managed to take decades of police detective experience and parlay it into a wonderful series of crime drama. The books are a great blend for fans of true crime, as well as police mystery books. Wilson has a secret weapon that the other writers don’t have: real-life police and crime scene experience.
Working in the law enforcement field, the book feels authentic, because it is. The steps that the police characters take are what law enforcement professionals would do—that is why they feel like true crime books.

A few words from me…
If you enjoy tightly written stories, with unexpected twists and surprise endings, AND, you want an inside look at how crime scene investigators, detectives, suspects, and prosecutors really think, speak, interact, and act during an investigation, you should read my books.
Some of my readers have compared my novels to James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, and Michael Connelly—high praise indeed for a mystery writer! Very humbling.
