About the Author
Amy C. Rea was born and grew up in northern Minnesota before decamping to the Twin Cities to attend the University of Minnesota. She's worked in a bank, as a travel agent, a retail store manager, and--for a very short time--as the host at a restaurant. She finally found her true calling (and a use for that non-teaching English degree) as a freelance writer. Her books (so far) fall into two categories: travel guides to Minnesota and educational books for the K12 market. But she also writes and publishes fiction and poetry, and was the recipient of a 2018 Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative grant. She lives in the suburbs with her husband and elderly, neurotic border collie, and loves it when her adult sons come to visit. Words are her favorite things to play with.
