Trina Jacobs
Trina Jacobs was born on Halloween—her friends say that explains a lot! She’s been writing the fantastic stories that fill her head and drawing animals (especially horses, dogs, and unicorns) since she could hold a pencil. Trina fell in love with sci-fi watching the original Star Trek series, the old Planet of the Apes movies, and The Twilight Zone with her dad. She has a bachelor's degree in Zoology, but wishes she could have studied cryptozoology instead. Her short stories have been published in two Yard Dog Press anthologies and about two dozen other anthologies and magazines.
