About the Author

ALICIA ZALOGA grew up in Virginia Beach not liking the beach, and now moves every few years, sometimes to places near beaches. She has a writing degree from Columbia College Chicago, and when she's not dealing with life's chores, she collects hobbies- plucking the E string on the bass, producing an alarming number of artistic doodles, and French beading floral bouquets.

WENDY TRIMBOLI grew up in England, Germany and the United States, and learned to speak two languages well enough that most people can understand her. 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.

Reviews

"Resurrectionist is tantalisingly real, the prose is breathlessly witty, and the characters are impossible to avoid loving"

"Sells itself on a single sentence."

"the strangest literary mushrooms since Alice in Wonderland."

"as gaudy and vivid as a Hogarth print"

"I loved the characters, the world-building, the tight plot and the emotional payoff. 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 can't 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."
