Local Author Niles Major Book Signing at Wakefield Books for his new novel, Narragansett Wild. Narragansett Wild tells the story of Rook Williams, a rich-kid sailor turned biker, a draft dodger with a sharp mind and a hunger for infamy. He hits URI and Narragansett Pier in the late 1960s chasing trouble and finds it in Jimmy Chin, a lifeguard, a leader of men, a drug smuggler with zero inhibitions, and the most popular guy in town. Inspired by true events, Narragansett Wild is a gritty, fast-moving crime saga about freedom, rebellion, and the price of chasing legend.
Niles Major spent years by the water, first as a lifeguard, then as a sailor chasing wind past the edges of the map. The sea taught him to pay attention: to silence, to danger, to the signs that come before a storm. He didn’t start writing until his forties. Now, his work leans into the places memory and imagination meet, where every character has a past, and every horizon holds something just out of view.
