Tsunami Cowboys was longlisted for the 2019 Screen Craft Cinematic Book Competition. Prepare to meet Todd, a hero with dangerous fantasies. Coreen is trapped in a cult. Ronnie dreams other people's futures. Guy waits for disaster at a Christmas Market. And Lynn, the connecting thread, takes a train with a seductive man who has a secret identity. As much as we like to believe our lives have clear rules and goals, events occur that throw all our plans off-kilter. Be careful when you flirt with a stranger - or climb in a window. Watch out, when your family starts to believe the world is coming to an end. And pay attention to your dreams, because sometimes they predict the future. Even random decisions have huge consequences: you can decide to take the train rather than fly, and still end up sailing through the air. Tsunami Cowboys is written in vivid, graceful prose that makes the improbable more than real, and the unimaginable far too easy to imagine. By turns terrifying and funny, this is the story of people riding life's waves... the tsunami cowboys.

Campell's "Tsunami Cowboys" resonates on my many levels: funny, introspective, suspenseful, and unpredictable. The lives of her characters are defined by eccentric, sometimes deeply frightening circumstances, which makes their ultimate relatability all the more astonishing. Whether exotic or quotidian, she imbues each encounter with a kind of magic which, accentuated by hypnotic and mellifluous prose, makes each and every page deeply entrancing. Reminiscent of the best from Carson McCullers, Campell's second published work shows a writer able to handle some of the most harrowing of life's obstacles with the lightest of touches and remarkable literary poise.
