Determined to ignore her preference for liberal arts, she attended the US Air Force Academy then worked as an intelligence officer, which was less exciting than it sounds. These days she has a creative writing MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts, and lives in Colorado with her family, border collie, and far too many books.

One of my favorites of the summer!""The convincing setting, engaging characters and an artfully devised plot all combine to give these particular fantasy themes a vivid freshness.""The Resurrectionist of Caligo plays with genre in an intriguing and clever way. There are horror elements mixed with fantasy, colonial critique, and class commentary, all blended into a book that is a pleasure to read.""The novel is artfully written from dual perspectives but with one fluid style, and will appeal to readers of sf, fantasy, and historical mystery, or those who just cant choose.""Wendy Trimboli and Alicia Zaloga build their world with meticulous care, and the plotting is rich and cunning…a story and characters to savour, in a world painted in vivid detail."

Review Quote "Sells itself on a single sentence." - B&N Sci Fi and Fantasy Blog "The world of Resurrectionist is tantalisingly real, the prose is breathlessly witty, and the characters are impossible to avoid loving (or loathing, in a few noteworthy cases).
