Angie Smibert (edit name/settings)

Born in Blacksburg, a once sleepy college town in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, Angie grew up thinking she wanted to be a veterinarian. Organic chemistry had other ideas. But she always had stories in her head. Eventually, after a few degrees and few cool jobs--including a 10-year stint at NASA's Kennedy Space Center--she wrote some of those stories down.

She's the author of several young adult books, including MEMENTO NORA and THE FORGETTING CURVE. She has also published many short stories, for both adults and teens.
