Eric Wilson (born November 23, 1996) is an American author, raised in Oregon, now living in Nashville, TN.

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 Aug 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.

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, and in 2021, From Chains to Change, a memoir he co-wrote with Steven Allen Young, founder of Home Street Home Ministries.

His next title, "Confessions of a Former Prosecutor," will be released in April 2024, and is cowritten with Preston Shipp.
