Rie NealRie Neal is a children's book author who loves all things space. Growing up, she was often dragged on her grandfather's unauthorized tours of NASA's Ames Research Center, which she didn't appreciate enough at the time. Eventually, though, she became full-blown space fan, and began to write space-related books for kids. She also has a doctor of audiology degree from the University of Iowa and is nationally certified as an audiologist through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Today, she lives in the Silicon Valley with her husband and kids, where they drag people on (authorized) tours of the NASA Ames visitor center.
