Dorothy Johnston is an award-winning Australian author of literary and crime novels, and short stories. She is known for her interest in the subject of prostitution. Her first novel, ‘Tunnel Vision’ is set in a Melbourne massage parlour and she has returned to the subject in recent years, notably in her novels, ‘The House at Number 10’ and ‘Eden’ – the third book in her Sandra Mahoney mystery series – and in her short story collection, ‘Eight Pieces On Prostitution’. She lived in Canberra, Australia’s national capital for thirty years, and she has written widely about that experience as well.
