Eric Wilson is an American author, raised in Oregon, now living in Nashville, TN. He currently has twenty books in print, seventeen novels and three works of nonfiction, with more books on the way. His publishers range from Waterbrook Press (a division of Random House) to Thomas Nelson. His first book was published in 2004.
His works include Dark to Mortal Eyes, Expiration Date, The Best of Evil, and A Shred of Truth. The Best of Evil and A Shred of Truth are part of the Aramis Black mystery series.[1] In addition, he has written a trilogy called "Jerusalem's Undead" which debuted with book one, Field of Blood, in 2008. It was followed by Haunt of Jackals in August 2009, and Valley of Bones in May 2010. It is an ultra-modern take on Peretti's This Present Darkness and C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters.
Wilson is also the writer of five movie novelizations. The first two, Facing the Giants and Flywheel, had moderate success. However, the third novelization, Fireproof, earned him a spot on the New York Times Bestseller list for 13 weeks. The fourth, October Baby, was released in 2012 and the fifth, Samson, came out in 2018.
Wilson released two suspense novels with Kingstone Media/Bay Forest Books, One Step Away and Two Seconds Late.
Wilson's nonfiction includes Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Team Tyson, released in 2014, as well as From Chains to Change, a memoir he co-wrote with Steven Allen Young, founder of Home Street Home Ministries. He has cowritten a book with Matt Bronleewe called Six Little Words: How One Simple Question Transformed Lives Around the World, as well as one with his sister and brother called American Leftovers: Surviving Family, Religion, & the American Dream, to be released in hardcover by Chalice Press in March 2023.
Wilson was born in California, spent some childhood years in 23 countries as a missionary kid, returning to Oregon where he finished high school.
