Biography


Dekker graduated from high school and took up permanent residence in the United States to study philosophy and religion.


In the early nineties Dekker turned to writing novels. Over the course of three years he wrote two full-length novels before starting from scratch and rewriting both. He moved his family to the mountains of Western Colorado and began writing full-time on his third novel. Two years and three novels later his first novel was published. To date he has written over 30 novels and is best known for psychological thrillers and fantasy tales.


Dekker's novels have sold over 10 million copies worldwide. Two of his novels, Thr3e and House, have been made into movies. Dekker resides in the Nashville area with his wife Lee Ann and one of their daughters.[2]
