C. C. Benison

C. C. BENISON is the nom de plume for Arthur Ellis Award-winning author Doug Whiteway. He is the author of the Her Majesty Investigates series of crime novels, two stand-alone novels––Death in Cold Type (2005) and the psychological thriller Paul is Dead: A Novel (2018)––and the Father Christmas series, which includes Twelve Drummers Drumming (2011), Eleven Pipers Piping (2012), and Ten Lords A-Leaping (2013). His most recent work of fiction is The Unpleasantness at the Battle of Thornford, a Father Christmas novella (2020). He lives in Winnipeg.

His ninth novel, Dionision Life: A Comedy, trades detectives and dead bodies for romance and reinvention, though not necessarily with fewer complications.
