About

I live in Jamaica, where I'm always on the lookout for story-making material for my Romantic Suspense and Young Adult Novels.  I also write short stories and articles on the craft of writing.

I work in the sport of golf, do some cake-decorating when I'm in the mood, and try to get in as much reading and writing as I can, time permitting.

<strong><em>Praise for Distraction</em></strong> <p><strong>J. L. Campbell’s <em>Distraction</em> is a read as enticing as the honey and caramel-skinned feisty women whose intertwined dilemmas are spiced with dialect and pinched with a generous helping of tropical Jamaica.</strong></p> <p><strong>                                   ~ Caroline Kellems, The Coffee Diary</strong></p> <p><strong><br /></strong></p> <p><strong>Distraction is an exciting, unforgettable story of love, betrayal and secrets.</strong></p> <p><strong>                ~ Diana Hockley, The Naked Room and Celibate Mouse</strong></p><strong><em>Distraction</em> is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of three women, each with their own distinct set of problems. I fell in love with the exotic Jamaican setting which seemed to me, another character. Campbell’s writing is compelling and she doesn’t fail to deliver with <em>Distraction</em>.</strong> <p><strong>                                  ~ Jeanne Bannon, Invisible</strong></p> <p><strong><em>Distraction</em> is an insightful look into the hearts of three women who break society's rules in search of happiness and completion.<br />                                  ~ Nancy DeMarco, Finding Sara</strong></p> <p style="text-align:left;"> </p>
