About this listen

Douglas Lumsden is a writer and retired history professor. He sits down with Daniel Brown to discuss his latest novel, "A Specter Raps On My Windowpane," along with announcing a new series he is working on now.

An outspoken and well-known Internet figure among authors and creators, Douglas shares advice for young writers, lessons in self-publishing and marketing, and strategies for using social media effectively, along with insights from a long and colorful life and career that has included serving as a history professor and private college prep school history teacher.

Douglas also shares personal stories and details like his passion for running, which he credits in large measure to his wife Rita, whom he credits as his lead beta-reader and editor on all his projects (and who makes a brief cameo mid-conversation, along with Douglas's Instagram-famous cats Prince and Cinderella!)
