For more than 15 years, Alison tried to fit her love for writing around her career in the tech industry in Seattle. She started as a short story writer, earning a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College, but began writing for children after taking a course with the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Alison now lives in Dublin with her family, where the rich history of Ireland and the British Isles has inspired her to write historical mysteries.
Her debut novel, The Secrets Act, was published by Chicken House in January 2022.
