Author Bio
Vernon Trollinger grew up in Wyomissing Hills, near the city of Reading, Pennsylvania. He attended the University of Iowa, earning dual BAs in English and theatre arts-communications, and earned his master of arts degree at Iowa from the MAW Expository Writing Program. This promptly led him into a career as a field archaeologist. He has participated in Phase I, II and III Cultural Resource Management projects in Iowa as well as Virginia, including an ossuary excavation in downtown Richmond and the Tredegar Iron Works site (now part of the National Park Service). Returning to Iowa, he co-founded a paranormal-parody 'zine called Third Eye Over Iowa with other talented writers in 1996. Third Eye Over Iowa ceased publishing in 1999 but maintains a story archive on its website. Vernon now lives a few miles outside Iowa City and works as a freelance copywriter specializing in the energy industry.
