Jake Chism sits down with NY Times Bestselling novelist Eric Wilson to discuss his latest release, Valley of Bones. Listen in as they talk about the bittersweet ending of a series, the future for Eric, and other writers to look out for.
More about 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 penned a pair of supernatural thrillers, Dark to Mortal Eyes (2004) and Expiration Date (2005). He followed these with two Aramis Black mysteries, The Best of Evil (2006) and A Shred of Truth (2007). He’s recently done novelizations for the surprise theatrical hits, Facing the Giants, Flywheel, and Fireproof, which was on the NY Times best-seller list for seventeen weeks and sold 250,000 copies.
His most recent project is the Jerusalem’s Undead Trilogy. The first book, Field of Blood (’08) was followed by Haunt of Jackals (’09), with the finale Valley of Bones coming in April 2010.
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 nearly twenty years and live with their two teenaged daughters in Nashville, TN.
