About Alison Weatherby
Alison Weatherby is the author of The Secrets Act, which was discovered through Chicken House's 2020 Open Coop.
Alison writes young adult mysteries from her soggy home in Dublin, which is surprisingly not very different from where she grew up in rainy Seattle, USA. She likes to run, listen to funny podcasts and curl up with a juicy spy novel in front of the fire (when her two kids, husband, and giant dog allow her, that is).
