About the Author

Cameron Jamieson is a quintessential Aussie Bloke. That is, he speaks his mind, is passionately Australian, is down-to-earth and, above all, he does not drink Foster's Lager beer. Born in 1965, Cameron left school at the age of 15 to become a labourer because it was the social expectation at the time. Thanks to an Australian Army career of over 30 years (full and part-time) he has met thousands of Americans, including his beautiful wife when they served together on a US Navy-led humanitarian mission in Southeast Asia in 2012. In the 1990s Cameron completed a journalism degree with the University of Western Sydney. This allowed him to start his life-long dream of pursuing writing as a career.
