Steven Paul Series

 Please consider purchasing digital versions from the author's newly launched store!

Book Jacket

Purchase on Amazon

It’s the summer of ’76, and Steven Paul is days shy of his 17th birthday when he hooks up with his oddball friends for a day in their local West Austin, Tarrytown park. The plan is simple – the consumption of cold beer, cheap weed and a large Conan’s pizza.

All’s well in the exclusive park when a seemingly frail bull terrier catches the boys’ attention. This dog is an oddity, for stray dogs do not exist in this part of town. High and their curiosity piqued by this abnormality, the boys feel compelled to investigate.

The timid and skittish dog leads Steven Paul into a ransacked house next to the park and onto a crime scene that sets into motion a string of events with far-reaching consequences.

It’s survival of the fittest.

 

 

Final Vertigo

Purchase on Amazon

A Texas oil tycoon’s daughter is held hostage in a villa outside Rio de Janeiro and both the US and Brazilian governments are unable or unwilling to do anything to help.

A black, Austin City detective named Williams may have an unorthodox solution. Through his investigation of unrelated crimes in the exclusive West Austin Tarrytown neighborhood, he has come to know and respect a young scofflaw named Steven Paul. He believes this young man and his motley crew may be the answer to the prayers of his fellow church-going friend, the girl’s father, and he decides to make the introduction.

Only 2,000 miles and a strongman separate Steven Paul and his crew of youngsters from success in their mission.

 

 

Final Wayward

Purchase on Amazon

It’s the summer of ’76 and a nice Cuban family living in exile in Austin, Texas is thrilled when their teenage daughter is befriended by another teenage Cuban girl. It’s a happy time for all until their once-lovely daughter turns moody, distant, disturbed, and finally disappears. Their one-and-only clue is an impound notice for her abandoned car. Distraught, the family turns to their churchgoing friend, Detective Williams, an Austin PD investigator. The bad news is, their daughter is of age and so there is little he can do officially. Yet, he thinks he can help by introducing them to a resourceful West Austin teen he’s recently befriended. With introductions made, everyone hopes that the wayward teenager will simply be found and convinced to return home. This hope fades as Steven Paul’s seemingly simple quest turns deadly.

 

 

Final Poached

Purchase on Amazon

The summer of ’76 continues. Battered and bruised, Steven Paul seeks only relaxation when he makes a promise, in jest, to the beautiful West Austin woman with whom he’s infatuated–a promise in which if certain events were to occur, he’d join forces with the lovely, headstrong woman in her desire to bring about change in the nefarious international business of dealing in poached animal parts. In making the promise, Steven Paul is secure in the knowledge he has a better chance of being struck by lightning. But then, lightning strikes. Steven Paul, the young woman, and his crew are off on an inane mission to make a difference. The mission leads them to Central America and they soon learn that poaching is indeed a deadly business.

 

 

Final CashCarry

Purchase on Amazon

Candy, the current headstrong love of Austin Texas teen Steven Paul, is determined to make a difference when she signs up for a 30-day stint aboard the Greenpeace ship, The Manatee. Her goal is to help bring to the world’s attention the cruel business of shark fin harvesting. Candy promises to call from every port.

A call does come, but not from Candy. A local Austin newswoman, Stacey Keys, brings the devastating news–Candy’s been plucked from the ship by unknown kidnappers leaving Steven Paul no choice. He has to gather his crew to find and rescue Candy based upon the barest of clues. Steven Paul and crew set off in what turns out to be an odyssey rife with peril.

 

 

Final Vegas Peach

Purchase on Amazon

After suffering a non-life threatening, but nevertheless, traumatic head injury, a period of Candy’s memory is missing; the period that includes her relationship with Austin teen Steven Paul.

Steven Paul’s devastated. The love of his life only remembers him as a young rebel and menace in the neighborhood. Reluctantly, he leaves Candy in Miami in the care of Jane, the sister Candy’s never had, to rest and hopefully recover her memory. He then departs for Georgia to a planned visit with his dad.

The calls to Jane become increasingly disturbing. Candy’s purchased a pistol and disappeared–the only clue is that she’s boarded a non-stop flight to Las Vegas and to the place that has meant nothing but bad news for Candy. So much for Steven Paul’s own much-needed rest and recuperation.

Note from the author: Though the Steven Paul Novels are written as a series, they need not necessarily be read in order.

Historical Note: The author's childhood home, as depicted in Hindsight and throughout the novels, was subsequently used in the filming of "The Tree of Life" starring Brad Pitt and Matt Damon.

    Steven Paul Wilson

    Texan - Storyteller - Prisoner 1638937

  • A Few Words From
    Steven Paul Wilson

    As my bio indicates, I'm currently an inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and have been now for going on a dozen years, albeit I continue to fight for my freedom with hopes of release in the near future.

    My thoughts often take me back in time, and this is where I would like to invite my readers to join me. Go back with me to the year 1976, to the big city of Austin, Texas and its wealthy neighborhood, Tarrytown. A time when everything was possible, when my friends and I teemed with optimism, and mortality was not on our radar. I invite you to have some excitement with us, safely, vicariously, and tag along with my friends and I in the Steven Paul series where adventure and peril lurk around every corner.

    But, if you prefer modern-day thrillers, you may well enjoy my Eddie Winston and Amy Foster novels, starting with The Girl in the Attic (see Kirkus review) and continuing with Foster Cares. And, of course, more novels will follow. The stories will keep you on the edge of your seat and rooting for the good guys-- and gals!

    I hope you read and enjoy, and I look forward to your feedback. I can be reached directly through "snail mail" at:
