Campbell studied music at California State University, Chico where she met husband and professional musician Rich Campbell. She is the mother to son Dylan and daughter Brynna. Her first romantic novel, My Champion, was nominated for a Romance Writers of America's RITA award for Best First Book. After college, Campbell moved to Los Angeles where she joined an all-girl rock band The Pinups signed to CBS records.

As she described in a recent interview the staff of computer games company Blizzard Entertainment had seen this performance and requested her services to add voiceovers for a collection of characters from Diablo and StarCraft.

Campbell's moody work with the voiceover for Sarah Kerrigan was instrumental in setting the game's atmosphere and for developing the plot.

After joining Warner Books as her new publisher during late 2005, the publisher asked her to change her pseudonym of Glynnis Campbell.

Glynnis published Lady Danger in April 2006 and Captive Heart on October 2006 using Sarah McKerrigan pseudonym.
