Dougall is better known as a scriptwriter for one of the 1930's most popular radio programs, Maxwell House Show Boat, a one-hour entertainment program sponsored by Maxwell House Coffee. Dougall brought this expertise to I Don't Scare Easy, his first mystery novel, set in the world of radio broadcasting. "Bernard Dougall is well-equipped to take the reader behind the scenes in radio; he's been there himself for a number of years planning broadcasts and writing script for some of the most popular programs on the air."
