Born in England to Jamaican parents, Dionne grew up in Canada and later moved to the U.S. Dionne writes Caribbean fiction and her debut novel, Somerset Grove, was inspired by the many stories of the Caribbean people she grew up with while living in Winnipeg. The Jamaica Gleaner describes Somerset Grove as “an authentic novel that oozes with existentialism and the vicissitudes that fate throws our way.” The Jamaica Observer recognizes her work as “part of an emerging genre of writing by Jamaicans in this society.” When she isn’t writing, Dionne loves to read stories that explore another time, place and culture. Dionne currently resides in Washington, D.C. where she practices law and is working on her second novel.
