Eric’s Writing Journey

Eric E Wright has led a rich life with time spent in both Asia and Ontario. He grew up in the west-end of Toronto, studied forestry at the University of Toronto then transferred to Columbia International University in South Carolina to receive training in overseas ministry. There he met and married Mary Helen, a nurse from SC.

 

Together they served in Pakistan for 16 years where Eric was the co-founder of the Open Theological Seminary, which now serves over 6000 students in centers throughout the country. Before venturing into writing for a western audience, Eric had already honed his skills by writing 5 self-teaching textbooks for OTS, this wildly successful extension training program.

 

Upon their return to Canada, he pastored a church in Toronto for nine years until the passion to write became too strong to deny. From 1991 to the present, he has written and published thirteen books and served as interim pastor in a number of churches. Based on his ministry experience in these churches he published, Revolutionary Forgiveness and Church—No Spectator Sport.

 

Through a Country Window – Inspiring stories from out where the sky springs free, first published in 2001, tells the story of Eric & Mary Helen’s move from the city to a country property. In a whimsical and often humorous style it draws readers into their story with a view to helping them celebrate country life. It also draws on Eric’s deep love for the outdoors and his photographic hobby. A new edition is available.

 

He followed this venture into the joys of country living by publishing, Down A Country Road, a series of devotional meditations aimed at inspiring the reader.

 

As a voracious reader of thrillers, Eric next turned to crafting suspense stories featuring believable heroes in contemporary settings. Out of that desire have come two award-winning suspense novels: The Lightning File and Captives of Minara. In the year they were published, each won the Word Guild award for best Canadian Christian suspense/mystery novel.

 

The Lightning File follows the story of a journalist who discovers a terrorist plot targeting US interests from Canada. Captives of Minara takes this journalist to a 4500-year-old archaeological site where he encounters a deadly smuggling ring. Rust Bucket describes Radley’s plunge into the seamy world of human trafficking in Seattle and Vancouver and completes this suspense trilogy, that is, unless he continues the series!

 

Riptide followed these three as a stand-alone suspense novel featuring a woman abandoned by her husband on St Simons Island, Georgia. Her husband hands her a “dear john” letter after a church service and disappears. She soon discovers he is being investigated for money laundering. Before she can react, her accounts are frozen, her car and home seized and she is being pursued not only by the FBI but also the Russian mafia. Will a charming shrimp boat captain be able to help?

 

A memoir, Surprises of Grace, recounts the amazing way God led Mary Helen and Eric together to minister in Pakistan and beyond.

 

In February of 2022, after 61 years of marriage, God called Mary Helen home to heaven. His book, A Man’s Journey Through Grief, describes both the depths of his grief and the hope he found in his Christian faith.

 

In September of 2023, after meeting through providential—even miraculous—circumstances, he married Phyliss Hammerstrom. They live in Port Hope, Ontario where Eric continues to write.
