Alison von Rosenvinge, (aka D.A. Bartley) can trace her family history back to the earliest days of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is the acclaimed author of the Abish Taylor mystery series set in Utah. Before becoming a writer, Alison worked as a political scientist and attorney. When not writing, Alison can be found taking long walks, wandering through museums, or binge-watching Gardeners' World (and, yet, she does not actually garden). She lives with her family in New York City and the Hudson Valley.
