Rebecca Campbell (she/her) is an amateur cook, non-practising scientist, and inconsistent reader who lives in the New England region of northern New South Wales, Australia, with her husband, two stepsons, two cats, and a dog.
After studying and researching zoology, animal ecology, entomology, myrmecology and climate change for ten years, she realised academia wasn't for her and rediscovered her passion for creative writing.
When she’s not feeding people and sharing her love of food or favourite recipes, blogging about homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck and hyena clitorises, or recounting some of her best late-night, whisky-fuelled arguments with people who were wrong on the Internet, Rebecca writes women’s fiction with contemporary romance elements.
Her first novel, Sandalwood, touches on grief, sexual desire, the power of scent, and confronting the past. Her second novel, A Slightly Reckless Second Act—a contemporary women’s fiction/romantic drama about a wealthy, recently divorced woman in her mid‑40s rebuilding her life, sexuality, and identity across six intense months in Atlanta, shadowed by a stoic bodyguard and entangled with multiple men—is due for release in the first half of 2026.
She is currently working on the three-book Triptych series, which tells the intertwined and concurrent stories of Yolanda, Annika and Imogen—three friends in their mid-40s who find themselves at a crossroads in life.
After recording some very ordinary backing vocals on her husband’s album, she now likes to think she's a little bit garage-punk when really she’s a little bit more perfume and red lipstick.
She needs you to know that myrmecology is the scientific study of ants, not mermaids.
“I like my martinis the way I like my sex scenes—dirty.”
