Iona Whishaw, The Cost of a Hostage
Iona Whishaw has been a youth worker, social worker, teacher, and an award-winning High School Principal, who continued with her writing throughout her working life. Receiving her Masters in Creative writing from UBC, Iona has published short fiction, poetry, poetry translation and one children’s book, Henry and the Cow Problem. The Lane Winslow mystery series is her first foray into adult fiction.
Iona was born in Kimberley, BC, but grew up in several different places, including a small community on Kootenay Lake, as well as Mexico and Central America, and the US, due to her father’s geological work. The Cost of a Hostage is the twelfth book in the Lane Winslow mystery series.
