The Man Behind the Story That History Missed

Cameron Crisp writes with a voice shaped by the land he loves and the lives he’s lived. Born in North Carolina and now rooted in rural West Virginia, he spent over 20 years as a public servant in Fire Management with the U.S. Forest Service. His work has always been about protecting what matters, whether it’s forests, families, or forgotten histories.

His passion for storytelling began thanks to his youngest daughter, Autumn, who encouraged him to share the stories he carried inside. Blending a deep love for Civil War history with a desire to explore the human side of conflict, Cameron’s debut novel, The Three-Tooth Confederate, is more than a war story. It is a reflection on friendship, resilience, and what it means to endure.

Outside of writing, Cameron runs a successful Eastern North Carolina-style catering business and takes pride in giving back to his community. He draws inspiration from the pageantry and grace of Southern tradition, the kind passed down through stories, recipes, and quiet acts of kindness.

Living on a small farm surrounded by the beauty of all four seasons, he continues to write, reflect, and find new ways to honor the heritage that shaped him. More books are on the way, each rooted in the same spirit of remembrance and Southern strength.
