Amy Cherrix

Amy Cherrix grew up in quirky Asheville, NC, less than an hour from a formerly top secret NASA tracking station--a fact that inspired her love of science, and fueled her early fascination with hidden history. For six years she had the best job in the world as the children's book buyer at the fiercely independent Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe in Asheville, NC.

Amy holds a master's degree in children's literature from Simmons University. If she isn't reading, writing, crafting, or scouring the Internet for late-breaking science and nature news, you can find her on Instagram and YouTube @amycherrix
