Born in New York City, raised in London and Calcutta by an ancient Great Aunt, the author misspent her youth devouring books on history, absorbing the Classics, and listening to first-hand tales of the Raj from antique relatives. Each side of her family had a four century history in East India as tea planters, in shipping, and in the military.
A long-time biographee of Marquis Who's Who, she served for thirty-five years as the Charge Scenic Artist of the Tony Award winning American Conservatory Theater and an additional six years as a scenic artist of the San Francisco Opera.
She still operates Demarest Campbell Art and Interiors in San Francisco.
For the last ~30 years I have worked as an electrical engineer. It is time for a change. My wife, Claudia, and kids, Kirstin and John, agree. My family and I currently live in Worcester, MA. My children are adopted through the social services department. They are special needs but very good souls. Life can be a challenge for all of us but we are doing fine.
