SIDELIGHTS: Andrea S. Campbell told CA: "Writing and journal-writing helped me to deal with surgery and trauma. A devotion to raising a Helping Hands capuchin monkey (she will be a companion/helper for a quadriplegic) gave me a passion. Forensic science and the industry of criminal justice allow me to complete valuable research and rub shoulders with some of the best scientists and law enforcement officers in the world. I write because I have these passions—they are the driving force that leads me into adventure and knowledge."
