Welcome to Dionisio Island: Where the Heart Races Ahead of the Mind. What happens when you escape the city and a failed relationship and wind up marooned on an island where everyone knows your secrets, your best friend's ex has pitched a tent at the end of your driveway, and the only thing keeping you afloat might be friendship itself. Welcome to Dionision Life, a sparkling, big-hearted comedy about love, reinvention, and the messy, hilarious collision of the sacred and the profane.
C.C. Benison is the nom de plume of Doug Whiteway. His first book, Death at Buckingham Palace won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel, and was followed by others in the “Her Majesty Investigates” series. He followed that series with the Father Christmas mysteries, featuring, as amateur sleuth, the vicar of the English village of Thornford Regis, Tom Christmas. Titles include Twelve Drummers Drumming, Eleven Pipers Piping, Ten Lords A-Leaping, and The Unpleasantness at the Battle of Thornford. His most recent novel is Paul is Dead, a psychological thriller. Benison lives in Winnipeg.
