Gary Demers was born in San Antonio, TX in 1965. His passion for creative prose is drawn from the many places he has lived, traveled, and worked. He has lived as far north as Alaska, as far south as the Gulf of Mexico, and he has lived in California and Long Island, New York with a few stops in between. His humor is as diverse as the people and cultures he has encountered stateside and abroad. After writing short stories for a variety of  magazines, Gary has written his first novel, Remember the Rain, which is set for release in February of 2010.

Gary is the President and CEO of Mission City Family Wellness Center, a professional mental health counseling and educational center based in San Antonio, TX. Gary holds degrees in Psychology, Theology, and Business. He began his career path as an air traffic controller (16 years), but changed course into the human services field after a chance encounter to help a nonprofit organization with resource development. He continues to help many nonprofit organizations through regular speaking engagements, resource development, and has received many awards and honors for his community based contributions. Gary is also a member of Mensa International.

Thirty years after a tragedy forced them apart, four men reunite to confront the secret that has haunted them for decades. The summer of '76 brought them together as friends; by winter their bond was shattered. Remember the Rain is inspired by true events.
