Timeline

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 Falcony Centre in Thirsk. She was educated at Agnes Road Primary School, Longcar Junior School and Hall Balk School for Girls. Her French teachers were Joanne Harris’s parents. An academic at school she was channelled down the route of University and studied Drama and teacher training at Exeter, St Lukes. But writing was always her first love and she left University to live in Haworth, West Yorkshire. There she befriended in the community a man she knew merely as 'Stan', little realising until at least a year after, this was Stan Barstow, a man whose books she had studied at school. 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 ghost writer on Purple Ronnie in its earliest days. Later she was to become one of the country’s leading professional copywriters for the greetings card market.

Johnson’s style is humorous with a provincial 'Up-Lit' delivery but she deals with issues instantly identifiable with women all over the world primarily friendship, love, children and because of this she has an extensive readership covering a vast range of ages. Her books champion women and their friendship and community spirit and hope. She often features characters who have had dreams and plans when younger but have been ground down by life and are in need of a renaissance. Johnson was sacked from an office job in 1990 for 'having an accent suited to the textile industry', an incident, she says, which made her determined that if she ever did manage to write a book, to set it in Yorkshire. Johnson’s books, despite the joyful covers, address heavy issues. Most of them are set in her home county but all feature strong (usually) Yorkshire women. Johnson’s male lead characters have received much acclaim.

Her first novel, The Yorkshire Pudding Club launched her unique style of humour and heart onto the market. Her first hardback release in 2018 The Perfectly Imperfect Woman sold over 400 copies in one night where readers waited approximately 2 hours in a queue for their books to be signed.

‘Strong women need stronger men. Too many times in TV dramas I see formidable women teamed up with wimpy men as if the writers are afraid that the women would look weak, by comparison, if paired up with anything else.’

She favours a third person narrative structure which allows her to shift viewpoints. She has been particularly praised for her realistic dialogue, character development and her ability to ‘build worlds to which a reader wishes to not only to escape, but in which to stay.'
