Camilla Trinchieri
Camilla came back to New York City in 1980 and started her new American life by selling De Cecco pasta in
Little Italy. Troubleshooting for a translation company came next, then advertising. While changing jobs she got
married to a transplanted Virginian. Wanting to write, Camilla applied to the MFA program in creative writing at
Columbia University from which she graduated in 1990. She also became an American citizen.
As Camilla Crespi, she has published seven mystery novels (the last four by Harper Collins)and has had three
of them published in Germany by Knaur. The Trouble with Going Home was optioned by Dolphin Entertainment
for a possible TV movie. Crespi has also written several short stories in the mystery genre.
As Camilla Trinchieri, the short story "Kitchen Communion" appeared in the anthology The Milk of Almonds
edited by Edvige Giunta and Louise DeSalvo and published by the Feminist Press in 2002. A personal essay,
"A String of Beads," is included in the anthology Unrooted Childhoods, edited by Faith Eidse and published by
the Intercultural Press in January 2004.
Camilla is finishing writing another novel, a food-filled mystery tentatively titled Gnocchi in Her Lap.
Writing awakened Camilla's old love of painting and now she divides her time between Greenwich Village where
she lives and writes and Brooklyn where she paints. She considers herself blessed for being able to live her
days doing what she loves and spend her nights with the man she loves.
