Biography[edit]

Born in Barnsley on 23 February 1964, she is the only child of a Glaswegian mother and Yorkshire father.

She was an avid reader and writer of stories from a very young age and was strongly influenced by the works of Enid Blyton, the Brontë sisters, Jane Austen, Catherine Cookson, Stan Barstow and Barry Hines, who also gave Johnson a great love of birds and she regularly flies birds of prey at the Falconry Centre in Thirsk. She was educated at Agnes Road Primary School, Longcar Junior School and Hall Balk School for Girls. An academic at school, she was channelled down the route of university and studied drama and teacher training at St Luke's Campus, University of Exeter.[4]

She left University to live and write in Haworth, West Yorkshire and was a friend of Stan Barstow, who also lived there. She had a series of dead-end jobs whilst writing jokes and poems for the greetings card market to supplement her income and became a ghostwriter on Purple Ronnie in its earliest days.[5] Later, she was to become one of the country’s leading professional copywriters for the greetings card market.

She married in 1995 (divorced 2000) and had her first child in 1998, being pregnant at the same time as two of her best friends. When she sent off to an agent the idea for a book about three Yorkshire women who fall pregnant at the same time, based on her own experience of joining 'the club' of women experienced with having babies, and the experiences derived from her parentcraft classes, she secured her first two-book deal with Simon and Schuster in 2004 when she was forty.

Books[edit]

Her first novel was The Yorkshire Pudding Club in 2007,[4] and her first hardback release was The Perfectly Imperfect Woman in 2018.

Johnson also released four shorter novellas exclusive to ebook: The Wedding Dress, a collection of short stories related to weddings (2012) and Here Come the Boys (2014) inspired by Johnson and her family missing a cruise ship two years previously. Ladies Who Launch was written in 2015 as both a sequel to Here Come The Boys and an introduction to Afternoon Tea at the Sunflower Cafe. She released the 16,000 short story ebook The Barn on Half Moon Hill in May 2016 to raise funds for the Care for Claire fund to raise money for Claire Throssell, whose children were killed in a murder/suicide by their father. In 2019, she released a book of poetry A Cat-Shaped Space, the profits of which all go to Yorkshire Cat Rescue.[6] In 2020 she also wrote a novella 'The Little Dreams of Lara Cliffe' for the resurrected 'Quick Reads' project to encourage adult reading.
