Mette Ivie Harrison is the national bestselling, award-winning author of THE BISHOP'S WIFE, published in 2014 with Soho Press. She holds a PhD in Germanic Languages and Literatures from Princeton, is an All-American triathlete, and has five children. Before writing adult mysteries, she wrote numerous YA fantasies, including the award-winning and acclaimed MIRA, MIRROR and THE PRINCESS AND THE HOUND.
For nearly 50 years, she was an active, believing Mormon, a scriptorian and honored Brigham Young University scholar. But in 2019, she stepped away from formal affiliation from the church, in 2020 separated from her Mormon husband of 30 years, and is currently trying to figure out what happens next. She continues to think of herself as “Mormon” in a broader, cultural sense of the term.
