Background
Wilson was raised in Charleston, Illinois, and attended Charleston High School, and joined the United States Navy upon graduation, where he served from 1977 to 1997.He is an ordained minister in the Universal Light Church and a former president of the Horror Writer's Association. David won the Bram Stoker Award for professional achievement in horror poetry.
His 1999 novel, [This is My Blood]Which is currently released as The Temptation of Blood contains books of a fictional gospel of Judas Iscariot. This novel, which also features Mary Magdalene as a fallen angel, cursed with a form of vampirism, oddly mirrors information recently translated in the coptic codex ascribed to Judas Iscariot, both works featuring Judas as the best of the apostles, as being the only one who fully understood Christ's teachings, and as the one to lay down his own life for the salvation of all.
