E.D. Campbell

E. D. Campbell is a native Seattleite whose extensive knowledge of the Pacific Northwest is richly reflected in her debut novel, By Light Unknown. The novel’s authentic settings and well-nuanced characters are true to its portrait of Seattle in 1992. Frink House, where many of the novel’s events take place is based on the real Frink Mansion, since demolished, where the author spent considerable time as a child.

E. D. Campbell is an historian who taught at several colleges in the Puget Sound area before becoming a technical writer and working in the region’s software industry. E. D. also taught an evening book discussion class which often focused on the classic novels of Russian and English literature, as well as more contemporary works.

E. D. Campbell is fascinated by tales of suspense and by the classic horror films of the 1930s, such as “Dracula” and “Frankenstein.” Such works were the inspiration for creating a new kind of fictional nemesis in By Light Unknown.
