ABOUT ERIN HEALY
Erin Healy is an award-winning editor and bestselling co-author of the supernatural suspense novels Kiss (Thomas Nelson 2009) and Burn (Thomas Nelson January 2010) with Ted Dekker. Her solo debut, Never Let You Go (Thomas Nelson May 2010), ushered in a new brand of fiction, building on her work with Dekker, that melds supernatural suspense with female-friendly relational drama.

Now, with The Promises She Keeps (Thomas Nelson February 2011 978-1595547514 $14.99), Healy continues to deliver a unique take on suspense with a little decidedly feminine point of view.

Healy is the owner of WordWright Editorial Services and specializes in fiction book development. She has worked with popular authorssuch as Frank Peretti, James Scott Bell, Melody Carlson, Colleen Coble, L. B. Graham, Brandilyn Collins, Rene Gutteridge, Michelle McKinney Hammond, Robin Lee Hatcher, Denise Hildreth, Denise Hunter, Jane Kirkpatrick, Gilbert Morris, Lisa Samson, Randy Singer and Robert Whitlow.

Healy earned her bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in communication studies from Westmont
College in Santa Barbara, Calif., and began her career as an editor for Christian Parenting Today during the
mid-1990s. After advancing from assistant editor, to associate editor, to editor while working for the
magazine, she moved on to serve as a book editor for WaterBrook Press. She founded WordWright
Editorial Services in 2002.

Healy began working for Dekker the same year, editing 12 of his well-known, heart-pounding stories,
before collaborating with him as a co-author on Kiss and Burn. Her solo debut, Never Let You Go, is a
supernatural suspense tale about a single mother’s struggle to protect her daughter as threatening elements from her past unexpectedly re-emerge.

On the differences between Never Let you Go and The Promises She Keeps, Healy says:

Promises keeps the supernatural core, but without angels and demons this time, and without as much
oppressive darkness. The result is a spiritual conflict between characters that is more interpersonal than
private. I hope readers feel that Promises still does a great job of asking high-stakes spiritual questions in
exciting, dramatic and memorable ways while drilling a few more inches into the human heart.”

Healy currently resides in Colorado Springs, Colo., with her husband, Tim, and two children. She is a
member of International Thriller Writers and the American Christian Fiction Writers. Visit www.erinhealy.com for more information.
