Jacquelyn Whitney Trimble
Jacquelyn Whitney Trimble (born Jacquelyn Whitney on October 21, 1927 in Portland , Oregon ) is an American writer.
Life
Whitney is the daughter of civil engineer Frederick Willis Whitney and Naomi Agnes, nee Groll. She studied at the University of Washington , where she earned her bachelor's degree in 1951 and graduated with a master's degree in literature in 1959 . In 1952 she married the writer Louis Trimble . From 1955 to 1956 she was the librarian and secretary at the University of Pennsylvania Microbiology Institute , then she worked as a bookseller until 1958 and as the librarian of the King County Public Library from 1962 to 1967 . From 1973 to 1974 she was the editor of the Pacific Northwest Needle Arts Guild newsletter .
In 1964 she published her first novel The Whisper of Shadows , a horror novel about a mysterious house and its mysterious but not unattractive owner with a librarian as the main character. She wrote her second book, the science fiction novel Guardians of the Gate (1972), with her then-husband Louis Trimble.
Whitney is not identical to the mystery writer Phyllis Whitney , born in 1903 , as claimed in Reclam's science fiction guide and in the lexicon of science fiction literature . The confusion is due to an incorrect author's name in Robert Reginald's Science Fiction Lexicon, where Phyllis A. Whitney is mentioned as the author name of The Whisper of Shadows .
