Emory’s Gift: A Novel by W. Bruce Cameron Review
I met W. Bruce Cameron when we were both panelists at the National Convention for Newspaper Columnists in Detroit several months ago. He is the author of 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter and the bestselling novel A Dog’s Purpose, and is a syndicated humor columnist as well. He is a generally awesome and hilarious guy to know, so I am really happy to be able to offer you 7 chances to win his newest novel Emory’s Gift in this giveaway.
Emory’s Gift is the extraordinary story of a young boy dealing with the loss of his mother, and it would make a great gift for yourself or a friend. Publisher’s Week called Emory’s Gift “inspiring… a parable for our time,” and the Boston Patriot Ledger said the novel was “pitch-perfect… full of wonder… a story of faith.” I have to agree. I enjoyed Bruce’s previous novel, A Dog’s Purpose, but I liked Emory’s Gift even more. It seems to have story lines that weave together even more seamlessly, and really is a touching and uplifting read for the holidays.

I love that Oliver North invited him for an interview- that’s just odd, cool, and funny itself!
I absolutely loved ‘A Dog’s Purpose.’ The audiobook wasn’t as captivating though. I checked out the quotes section of his bio and they are totally spot on with the comparison of Cameron to Barry, except I would argue that Cameron is even more funny and touching than Barry. I really hope to get to read “Emory’s Gift”!
I learned that he had trouble getting published for a long time. Thanks for the giveaway!
I learned that as soon as he started writing using his personality, it sold!
bruce has three kids, like another bruce i know, and is pretty funny!
He has 3 children, is divorced, and engaged to be married.
i now wanna read how to remodel a man. lol
“8 Simple Rules…” – loved that show!!
He is a pretty funny guy! I thought the part about how he gave up writing his first novel in the 4 th grade because his hand gave out was pretty humorous.
I can’t believe he wrote 26 pages in one sitting as a fourth grader! That’s crazy!
He is such a funny guy – years ago we emailed over one of his columns that had struck me as particularly funny – the few emails were quite hilarious – he can certain spin funny out of nothing!
I also learned (well I already knew this) about his struggles to get published and the years it took him to get where he is today.
I learned he has written 5 books that have been published. BTW I LOVED A Dog’s Life! It was so beautiful!
He will soon be married

I learned that his first published book made the NY Times Bestseller List.
Wow, amazing that he sold his first story at 16! I’ve been meaning to pick up A Dog’s Purpose, I am such a dog person.
He was born in Petoskey, Michigan and knew he wanted to be a writer since 4th grade.
author of two other humor books: How to Remodel a Man, and 8 Simple Rules for Marrying my Daughter.
I learned that the he is crazily-commited to writing, and would even wake up at 4:30 in the morning to find time to write before going to his day jobs (back in the day!). That is so amazing, and his passion for writing has now paid off!
8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter sounds wonderful- thanks for introducing me to a new author!
I actually sat down in fourth grade to write a novel and made it through 26 pages before my hand gave out.
He can’t speak french from twitter, he wrote 8 simple rules, he always new he wanted to be a writer, he has kids and will marry again real soon.
I learned that he’s a fellow Michigander–nice! Also he’s clearly a very entertaining writer, just based on a quick perusal of his bio.
