About the Author

T.F. Campbell at mid aged prime has traveled the globe, as a freelancing architect, practicing appropriate technologies of the various environments. Recently he has begun to tap another of his many artistic talents, in writing. A babe of the 60?s, he attended Penn State, where his ideals ?n? ideologies were forged.

After twenty years of professional field work, in urban and rural environs, he re-entered the same university, only to find that it and the world had reverted back to its old stubborn, reactionary ways; to which he and many others have fought so hard to up-date, technologically and philosophically. Ergo, he continues to altruistically venture far and wide, from Philly to Phnom Penh, advocating a peaceful design solution to our global mess; now hoping to bridge the East vs. West chasm, via his new thirst for writing.

Inheriting his romantic nature from a fine artistic father; T.F. passed it on to his daughter, Maia Chinassa Campbell, who is a fine actress. Waiting to gather some of life?s experience; Mr. Campbell feels he now has something to say and pass on to this socially bankrupt world.

T.F. let?s he characters delineate his philosophy, as well as personify the adverse ?ism?s of our universe. He has mentored many an artist along the way, and often recites an old Quaker quote: ?Ve get too soon auld, und too late schmart.? T.F. writes from personal perspectives in his own poetic, alliterative genre, with hopes of affectively affecting some celestial and cerebral consciousness.
