Staci Wilder has been writing for as long as she can remember. Her first story collaboration took place during her fourth grade year, when she partnered with her friend, Melissa, to write and illustrate a book for their teacher.
She has four published novels, two more scheduled to release in 2008, and several articles in publications such as The Hiding Place and The Pentecostal Herald. Her novels include These Things We Hold (2001), For Such a Time as This (2002), Waking Emma (2005), and Saving Grace (2006). Melrose Miracle and Finding Faith (the sequel to Saving Grace) will release in the fall and winter of 2008.
She is a member of several writing groups, including American Christian Fiction Writers and Pentecostal Writers Fellowship.
Writing aside, Staci's greatest joy in life is her family and friends.
She is married to Mike and, together, they have three grown children. They make their home in North Texas and are active in their home church. Staci leads WOW, the ladies fellowship network of North Cities United Pentecostal Church.
In addition to writing, Staci enjoys running, scrapbooking, and long dinners with close friends. She endeavors to share the love of God through volunteering at Coventry, a day program that provides life enrichment opportunities for adults with special needs, and by participating in Race for the Cure and The Three Day Walk, to help raise funds and awareness for breast cancer.
