About this author

Drusilla Campbell lives in San Diego with her husband, the lawyer-poet-professor, Art Campbell, two rescued dogs and four horses. She was born in Melbourne, Australia and came to California when she was six years old. Before that she criss-crossed the United States by train and car with her brave and resourceful mother and mostly adorable baby brother. She had sailed the Pacific Ocean three times before starting first grade and knew how to run down a pitching outside deck and come to a sliding, slamming stop against a bulkhead, laughing the whole time. She grew up in the Santa Clara Valley in the halcyon days before the dot com magnates discovered it, attended San Jose State University, and then started traveling again. She taught in Melbou...more


The question I’m asking myself today is this: what will I be when I grow up? A biologist or a star in musical theater?



My mornings almost always begin in the same way. I spend an hour or so in what My Hero and I call the quiet room, reading and listening to music. I try to read nonfiction at this time, something good for the brain or soul or both. This week I’m deep in E.O. Wilson’s THE SOCIAL C...

This book haunts me. While I found it tedious in places and not quite believable in others, I continued to read out of a sense of horrified fascination, not even sure what it was about. Only at the end did I realize that Lulu is an avatar for the Uni...more

I didn't like that one at all. Didn't finish it even which is kind of rare for me.




Bradley I hope you are having a good day! =)

Margaret Hi Dru, i'm still trying to figure out how this site works. i'm guessing we get some friends first, then recommend readings and read recommendations??


message 5: by Nic

Nic Welcome, Drusilla! Hope you come to love this site as much as I do.


Michael By the way, it's me not Michael. When I went to sign up I found he was already a member. I also just read Nick Hornby's High Fidelity which I thoroughly enjoyed. Now i want to check out the movie.


Michael Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and the 3rd one to be released on oct 1) are great thrillers. Unfortunately for Stieg, he died before becoming famous. xx


Rosemary Happy reading, Drusilla!


Jacqui Good to see you here. Looking forward to this weekend.
