D.A. Bartley (Alison) grew up Mormon. Her family can trace its roots back to some of the earliest converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Alison is a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, which means her ancestors settled in Utah (or Deseret, if you're going to be technical) before the Transcontinental Railroad was finished in 1869. Alison was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, where her dad was studying linguistics at the time. Her parents moved back to Ogden, Utah, when she was two (which is why Alison does not have a charming Scottish accent). When she was ten, her family moved to France, and when she was eleven they moved to Germany. Her family returned to Salt Lake City where Alison went to high school. (Go Olympus Titans!) Alison attended Boston University, but the need to travel was in her blood and she spent her junior year abroad. She moved to Leningrad, USSR, in 1991, and moved from St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1992. The following summer she pretended to study French in Paris, but mostly drank black coffee at sidewalk cafés and did some serious people watching. After college, Alison went on to get her Ph.D. in political science (her dissertation focussed on how countries used the concept of sovereignty in legal disputes) and a J.D. both from the University of Pennsylvania. She then moved with her husband to New York City where she practiced law and spent time as a research scholar writing academic papers. Alison and her family divide their time between the Upper East Side and Upstate New York.
