Alison Stone is a Publishers Weekly bestselling author who writes sweet romance, mysteries, and inspirational romantic suspense, some of which contain bonnets and buggies.Alison often refers to herself as the "accidental Amish author." She decided to try her hand at the genre after an editor put out a call for more Amish romantic suspense. Intrigued-and who doesn't love the movie Witness with Harrison Ford?-Alison delved into research, including visits to the Amish communities in Western New York, where she lives. This sparked many story ideas, the first leading to her debut novel with Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense. Four subsequent Love Inspired Suspense titles earned RT magazine's TOP PICK! designation, their highest ranking. When Alison's not plotting ways to bring mayhem to Amish communities, she's writing romantic suspense with a more modern setting, sweet romances, and mysteries. To meet her deadlines, she has to block the internet and hide her smartphone.
