}}Andrew John Bayly Johnston is a Canadian historian, novelist and museum writer. He is the author of five novels of historical fiction as well as fourteen books (and over 100 articles) on the History of Atlantic Canada.[2] Johnston is originally from Truro, Nova Scotia and currently lives in Halifax.[3]

Career

Johnston's Endgame 1758 won a Clio award[4] from the Canadian Historical Association and was short-listed for a Dartmouth Book Award.[2] His work is closely associated with the history of the Fortress of Louisbourg.[5] In recognition of his body of work on that national historic site of Canada, the Government of France made Johnston a chevalier of the Ordre des Palmes académiques.[6]

Johnston had a long career as a historian with Parks Canada.[7]

His historical account Ni'n na L'nu: The Mi'kmaq of Prince Edward Island won the "best Atlantic-published" book, the PEI Book Award for non-fiction and a PEI Heritage Award.[8] He has also developed the story-lines and written the scripts for exhibits in Atlantic Canada.[9] Some of those exhibits have been at (or are currently are still at) the Nova Scotia Museum, the Colchester Historeum and the Black Cultural Centre.[10] Since 2009 he has published three novels Thomas, A Secret Life (2012), The Maze (2014) and Crossings (2015)[11] inspired by the historical figure of Thomas Pichon (1700–1781). Atlantic Books Today described Johnston as "a natural to write this story."[12] The review of Thomas in The Antigonish Review stated: "This is a fine novel, one that strikes just the right balance between fact and fiction."[13] As for The Maze, Paul W. Bennett writes: "Taking on historical fiction and imaginatively recreating the inner life of one of Canada's most controversial early historical figures would be beyond the reach of most scholars. A. J. B. Johnston ... is more than equal to that challenge."[14] The reviewer in the Nashwaak Review wrote: "Pichon is as real and developed a character as you will find anywhere … both believable and impressive." [15] In 2018, Johnston published The Hat, a YA novel about the Expulsion of the Acadians from Grand-Pré in 1755, and Something True, a coming-of-age biographical fiction about Katharine McLennan (1892-1975).[16] He announced on his web site in September 2018 that he had begun to undertake a project for a book on The Lincolns, a 1960s rock 'n roll band that was based in Truro, Nova Scotia (not the one based in Ontario).[17] One member of that band was playwright, novelist and composer John McLachlan Gray.

Johnston's research archives are deposited at the Beaton Institute of the Cape Breton University.[18]

In February and March 2017, Johnston was Writer-in-Residence at Wolff Cottage (the Center for the Writing Arts) in Fairhope, Alabama.[19]

In July 2018, A. J. B. Johnston was named as one of the members of a special advisory committee of the Halifax Regional Municipality regarding the commemoration of British colonial governor of Nova Scotia, Edward Cornwallis, and of Indigenous Commemoration within the municipality.[20]
