G S Johnston

G.S. Johnston is the author of three historical novels, The Cast of a Hand (2015), The Skin of Water(2012) and Consumption(2011), noted for their complex characters and well-researched settings. \n\nIn one form or another, Johnston has always written, at first composing music and lyrics. After completing a degree in pharmacy, a year in Italy re-ignited his passion for writing and he completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature. Feeling the need for a broader canvas, he started writing short stories and novels.\n\nOriginally from Hobart, Tasmania, Johnston currently lives in Sydney, Australia. \n\nHe would be impressed with humanity if someone could succeed in putting an extra hour in every day.
