N.D. Wilson (Nathan David Wilson) is an American author based in Moscow, Idaho, where he is a Fellow of Literature at New Saint Andrews College. He first gained wide attention with the 100 Cupboards trilogy, a portal fantasy about a boy who discovers a wall of cupboard doors that open into other worlds. He followed that success with the Ashtown Burials series, which blends mythology and secret societies, and the Outlaws of Time trilogy, a time-travel adventure centered on a foster kid named Sam Miracle.

Beyond his novels for older readers, Wilson has written the popular Hello Ninja picture book series, which was adapted into a Netflix animated show. His Old Stories books retell biblical narratives for young children with vivid illustrations by Peter Bentley. On the nonfiction side, Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl offers a creative look at the world through a theological lens, while Death by Living was named Book of the Year by Christianity Today. Wilson has also contributed short stories to the Wingfeather Tales anthologies set in Andrew Peterson’s Wingfeather Saga world.
