20/20 Vision: The Scots Whay Hae! Podcast Talks To Doug Johnstone...
For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali caught up with returning guest (one of our first, no less) writer Doug Johnstone to look back over 20 years as a published author in the run up to his 20th novel Ghost Notes coming out in August of this year, as well as the new versions of his first two novels Tombstoning and The Ossians, all three published with Orenda Books.
They went through the novels to date in order, from 2006's Tombstoning to The Transcendent Tide (see below, minus 2012's Hit & Run which has been mislaid!).
During the conversation, Doug talks about getting published initially, the unexpected order of his early publications, finding his rhythm as a writer, writing from experience, learning to edit his own work, the importance of place, portraying alternative Edinburghs, moving between subject matter (and later genre), changing publishers and finding a home with Orenda, stand-alone novels versus writing a series, and so much more.
The two also talk character, plot, pacing, and personal favourites, before Doug gives a glimpse into what comes next. One of Scots Whay Hae!'s favourite authors, what this episode proves is that Doug Johnstone is among the most interesting, thrilling, yet always thought-provoking, writers at work today. Looking back over this storied career the picture to emerge is one of a master of his craft. Put simply, no one does it as Doug does.
