Trinna’s imagination is filled with land creatures and sea creatures, wind and sky, and to borrow a phrase from Disney’s The Little Mermaid, “gadgets and gizmos aplenty.” She writes fantasy fiction for a middle-grade audience, as well as the occasional YA novel or short story for adults. She once had a job where she carried tarantulas, boa constrictors, macaw parrots, and giant Brazilian toads around elementary school classrooms for educational purposes. It’s still one of the best jobs she’s ever had. Dr. Frever grew up in Michigan and now lives in Florida, always keeping close to the water. She suspects she may be part mermaid.
