Iona Whishaw is the author of the bestselling Lane Winslow Mysteries. She is the winner of a Bony Blithe Light Mystery Award, was a two-time finalist for a BC and Yukon Book Prize, and has twice been nominated for both the Left Coast Crime Award and the Crime Writers of Canada Awards. The heroine of her series, Lane Winslow, was inspired by Iona’s mother who, like her father before her, was a wartime spy. Born in the Kootenays, Iona spent many years in Mexico, Nicaragua, and the US before settling into Vancouver, BC where she now lives with her husband, Terry. Throughout her life she has worked as a youth worker, social worker, teacher, and award-winning high school principal, eventually completing her master’s in creative writing from the University of British Columbia.
