Today on The Cameron Journal Podcast we are joined by John David who comes from the world of marketing and PR and has taken up writing. He has a story about what it took to get his book published, the crushing querying process and much more. We have a wide-ranging conversation on writing and the industry!

Here's some more about John's writing:

His debut novel, The Bystander, is a contemporary mystery, infused with thriller elements. It follows television reporter Pete Lemaster, who witnesses an active shooter incident. During the attack, the gunman is killed by an armed bystander. Lemaster captures the event on camera, and the footage propels his career into the spotlight after going viral. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the circumstances surrounding the shooting are far more complicated than they first appeared. While the novel touches on issues of gun rights and veterans’ challenges, David emphasizes that it is primarily an entertaining tale of suspense.

Today on The Cameron Journal Podcast we are joined by Cinda Gault, a canadian author of historical fiction set in the Canadian and American West. I will admit that I did not know anything about Canadian western expansion until I visited Alberta on a writing residency in 2019. Cinda is the expert and her stories explore women's lives in these historical, Canadian settings with real-life elements! I loved her pitch to me because she said, "I think your Mom would like these stories." And she's probably right! I will be passing them along! Join us on this delightful adventure with a delightful author!

Today on The Cameron Journal Podcast we are joined by Justin Spencer, the founder of Chaos and Kindness and TV show and brand. We are having this conversation in his car. Right now he is on a new journey where he is buying a cheap car and driving around the United States. During this conversation, he is waiting for a tow because the motor in his car has gone out (it was cheap) and we even see it all go down (at least part of it) right during the show. This is a very special episode of The Cameron Journal Podcast and probably unlike anything we've had on before.

More about Justin Spencer: He started out as a musician where he went on America’s Got Talent with his band, Recycled Percussion and turned that into an award-winning show, Chaos and Kindness. He is now the author of his first novel, Terminal Anxiety, an intoxicating what-will-happen-next thrill ride of a book, to be published by One Life Press on February 17, 2026.
