Joanna Johnson

Biography

Joanna Johnson lives in a little village with her husband and too many books. After completing an English degree at university she went on to work in publishing, although she’d always wish she was working on her own books rather than other people’s. This dream came true in 2018 when she signed her first contract with Harlequin and she hasn’t looked back, spending her time getting lost in mainly Regency history and wishing it was acceptable to write a manuscript using a quill.
