Kelli Auerbach

The Adventures of Trixie and Dinkidoo began as Kelli Auerbach’s desire to transform her childhood meanderings of self-pleasure into a fun, fantastical tale. A California native, completed an MFA in fiction at Brown University, and is now a visiting assistant professor at the Rhode Island School of Design. Other short stories can be seen in 3rd Bed and Encyclopedia. Kelli spent 2006 in South Africa as a Fulbright scholar to work on her first novel. She hopes that, like Trixie, women and girls of all ages have grand adventures with their dinkidoos too. She can be reached at kelli (at) dinkidoo (dot) com.
