Eric Wilson

Eric Wilson credits his childhood as a missionary kid in Europe, Eastern Europe, and Asia, for his becoming a novelist. He grew to love language and the arts. In high school, he added basketball and track and field to his interests.

After graduating from college, Eric was encouraged by his wife to “write what was in his heart.” He has penned ten novels, including Fireproof, which was on the NY Times best-seller list for seventeen weeks, and the groundbreaking Jerusalem’s Undead Trilogy. He is now working on three new novels, the first to be released in Oct. 2011. Titled One Step Away, it is a modern twist on the story of Job, with a family being “blessed” with $6,000,000, instead of cursed, to see if they will forget about God.

Eric has worked as a youth pastor, warehouse manager, cabinet maker, espresso shop owner–and now, at last, a novelist. He and his wife, Carolyn Rose, have been married over twenty years and live with their two teenaged daughters in Nashville, TN.
