Born in California in 1966, raised in Oregon, and a traveler in over thirty-five countries, Eric has an international perspective and a heart for those on the fringes of faith.

While earning a B.A with high honors from Life Pacific College, he published non-fiction articles and served on the editorial staff for the campus newspaper. He married his wife, Carolyn Rose, after his junior year, in 1990, and they went on to youth-pastor together, run an espresso cart business, and raise two daughters who are both now in their teens.

After years of dreaming to be a novelist, Eric signed his first contract with WaterBrook Press, a division of Random House, and published his first novel in 2004. Since that time, hes written a total of ten novels, with a million words in print. His most recent book was based on the original screenplay of Fireproof, a grass-roots hit movie. The book spent 17 weeks on the NY Times bestseller list, has been translated into five languages, and has over 250,000 copies in print.
