Critically-acclaimed mystery novelist Bill Cameron opens the
Vancouver Writers Mixer Series, a monthly event focusing on the publishing industry that happens first Saturdays October through June in at
Cover to Cover Books.
Cameron is the author of the dark, gritty mysteries
Day One,
Chasing Smoke and
Lost Dog—featuring irascible Portland homicide cop Skin Kadash. New York Times Bestselling Portland author
Chelsea Cain describes
Day One as "an utterly engrossing page-turner." In the Vancouver Voice, Carolyn Schultz-Rathbun said, “The body count is positively Shakespearean, but in Cameron’s vision of P-town’s dark underbelly, love really is strong as death. Maybe stronger.”
The next Skin Kadash mystery,
County Line, will be released in June 2011 by Tyrus Books.
Chasing Smoke received a starred review from Library Journal, and Booklist declared, "it engages the reader on an emotional as well as literary level." It was a finalist for the 2009 Spotted Owl Award for best Northwest mystery.
Lost Dog was nominated for the 2008 Rocky Award and was a finalist for the 2008 Spotted Owl Award.
Cameron's short fiction has appeared in
Spinetingler Magazine, the
Killer Year anthology, and
Portland Noir, as well as on Lit 103.3: Fiction for the Ears. His most recent story can be found in
First Thrills (Forge Books).
Bill lives with his wife and poodle in Portland, Oregon, where he also serves as staff to a charming, yet imperious cat. He is an eager traveler and avid bird-watcher, and likes to write near a window so he can meditate on whatever happens to fly by during intractable passages. He is currently working on his fifth novel.
Bill blogs every other Thursday at
Criminal Minds (7criminalminds.blogspot.com) and tweets as
