Talking Aussie Books with Michelle Johnston

Michelle Johnston is the author of two novels and juggles her writing career with her work as an emergency physician the Royal Perth Hospital and as a Professor of Emergency Medicine at St John of God Murdoch. If that's not impressive enough, Michelle's debut novel 'Dustfall' was awarded the Hachette/Queensland Writers Centre Developing Manuscript Award in 2014 and later published by UWA Publishing in 2018. Last year, Michelle's second novel 'Tiny Uncertain Miracles' was published by HarperCollins to widespread, critical acclaim. A tender, funny, sad and sharply-drawn novel about family, friendship, faith, love, grief and alchemy. I was thrilled to have the chance to speak with Michelle about it recently on the podcast.
