Books with author Chad Cameron

Dr. Cameron J. Camp, internationally-recognized scholar, author and trainer has written a new book, called Hiding the Stranger in the Mirror: A Detective’s Manual for Solving Problems Associated with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders. As the Baby Boom generation ages, growing numbers of people are impacted by dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related disorders. By the year 2020, 53 million people in the U.S. are expected to be over the age of 65. Accompanying the rise in the older population, the number of people in the U.S. diagnosed with AD is expected to exceed 15 million by 2050, out of a total of 80 million worldwide. Writing with wit and compassion, Dr. Camp aims to help his audience better understand how the disease affects memory, and how memory loss may affect behavior. Going against conventional “wisdom,” the author stresses that the key to successfully caring for persons with dementia is to focus on their strengths rather than their weaknesses – to see the person and not a disease. His entertaining and insightful book examines cases based on real individuals to illustrate common challenging behaviors and how to approach these challenges. Readers are given tools and resources to understand why persons with dementia do what they do, to help them solve their own “cases,” and, more importantly, they are given a more hopeful way of thinking about Alzheimer’s disease and those who live with it. “We are not helpless in the face of Alzheimer’s disease and associated illnesses. We can best care for ourselves and our loved ones with dementia by embracing the humanity that exists, and has always existed, within each other.” (Cameron J. Camp, Ph.D., from the Author’s Preface to Hiding the Stranger in the Mirror)

“Hold the Stones high, let their light shine, and live!”Zeke and his little brother, Devon, are in a monstrous amount of trouble. The devious figure who is responsible for it all is Loki, the mischievous trickster god of Norse myth and greatest enemy of the All Father, Odin. After being summoned by the ancient inhabitants of Alder Cove, Loki sends his daughter the Korrigan, a hideous monster who inhabits the cold, dark waters of the Stick River. Prosperity and great riches follow its summoners. But now, after many years of clandestine violence, Zeke and Devon stumble upon the Korrigan’s lair and its hidden secrets, unveiling a horrid past of deceit, black magic, and murder.Now, only Odin’s Light can save them.

“It is the way; it is the law!” Zeke’s confidence is high after defeating the Korrigan. The stones once touched by the hand of Odin held power beyond his imagination, their light penetrating the darkness and ending the curse that threatened a small town. But now there is a new threat. Evil as dark as night has wrapped Alder Cove in its clutches. Zeke must now find new strength and courage to battle a fallen god, a remnant of Norse myth, a demon from the past brought to the present. This entity seeks to destroy Zeke, exact its vengeance for the death its daughter, and finally, set in motion Ragnarok—the destruction of the gods at the gates of Asgard. www.bradcameron.net

“Nidhogg! Wake! Wake, wise serpent of Niflheim!”Zeke’s death at the hands of Loki was imminent until the beautiful Valkyrie, Shaker, intervened. But her dire words of warning have haunted him: “You must try harder, Zeke. You have strengths that you know not of. Work with them. Practice them. If you don’t, you will remain weak, and your cousin, Taylre, will perish. It is up to you.”After Taylre is kidnapped by Loki and taken into the Mist on the dreaded ship, Naglfar, Zeke begins to plan her rescue. Along with the Captain and Devon, Zeke ventures to the Cabin in the Woods. There they find the seeress, Sinmora, who leads them through a Seidh, a mystic Norse séance filled with magic and enchantment. From there the adventure begins, a quest filled with more peril than Zeke and his tiny group of followers could have ever imagined.Exploring amongst the branches of Yggdrasil and shifting between the nine worlds, Zeke must build his strength and practice courage if he is ever going to save Taylre from the dreadful grip of Loki at the Gates of Asgard.
