Cameron Gilchrist is an author residing in San Diego, California, a far cry from the suburbs of Philadelphia where he grew up.

Through the years, Cameron had multiple ventures including owning and running an art gallery, an entertainment company, a video production company and a career in solution engineering.

Witty, funny and fierce, his memoir, The Truth About Demons is a relentless rollercoaster of heartbreak and hope, featuring larger-than-life characters that could easily grace a movie screen.

Amid shattered dreams, and haunting events is a deeply moving, coming-of-age story packed with plenty of laughs, some tears, and enough heart to make even the demons blush.

Cameron fell in love with books at an early age and he credits the public l ...more

What Star Trek Taught Me About Diversity

I was and am a Trekker. I love Star Trek. Since its inception in 1966, I was plopped in front of our black and white TV to watch the amazing adventures of the crew of the USS Enterprise. I went along with the crew as Star Trek boldly went where few shows dared to go, tackling social issues like poverty, overcrowding, war, racism and fascism head-on and presenting a vision of the future where human Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by C.A. Gilchrist (?)

“The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.” - Albert Einstein”

“Muffled screams of terrorized children punched through the drone of the speaker on stage. Congregation members laughed at the wails and the sad, pleading, little voices that escaped the beating rooms. After a beating was delivered, a sobbing child would be marched back to their seat in front of the entire congregation.”

“I know almost nothing and I’m not the center of the universe. I’m going to die, so I better get to living. Time does not wait. I will learn from history and from those who have journeyed before me. Their stories will help light my path. I will never let anyone silence me or tell me what to believe or say. I will use logic and observation to understand the world and build my truth on that foundation. With the help of books, mentors, and friends, I will find my place in the world. I will find love. I will find joy. I will find meaning. I will never stop searching until the day I die.”
