Biography [edit]
Early writing career [edit]
His first propositions to publishers were all rejected. These rejected offerings consisted of three incarnations of what would later be Black, along with To Kill with Reason. Dekker's first published work, Heaven's Wager, is a supernatural thriller that was written just after his brother's death.
Dekker proceeded to write 6 more supernatural thrillers, When Heaven Weeps, Thunder of Heaven, Blessed Child (with Bill Bright), A Man Called Blessed (with Bill Bright), and Blink.
In recent years, Dekker has released some of his earliest manuscripts as exclusive promotional material.[2][3]
Later writing career [edit]
Thr3e was Dekker's first mainstream novel. It was later made into a film.
Dekker went on to co-author books with other authors, including Bill Bright, Frank Peretti, Erin Healy, Carl Medearis, and Tosca Lee.
Since 2007, fans of Dekkers writing have held an annual, unofficial convention in Nashville, TN called "The Gathering." Similar events were held in 2010 in Dallas, TX and Chicago, IL. The 2012 event was delayed, then cancelled. The 2013 convention is planned to coincide with the release of "Sovereign," the conclusion of the Books of Mortals series. [4]
