I'd like to wish today's guest Kate Johnson a happy publication day as her latest book Impossible Things is published today.Did you always know you wanted to be a writer?
Maybe not always, but since my teens, yes. I always wrote stories and silly things, and gradually got more serious about it until I realised it was the only thing I really wanted to do. I was probably about sixteen then, so it’s certainly been my whole adult life.
How long did it take you to get your first book published?
That’s a tricky one to answer, because the first books I wrote are not the ones I got published (looking back at those books, that can only be a good thing!). I started out selling short stories and novellas to erotic romance publishers in 2005, but there were still some books I’d written before that which got published later. Some of those novellas were written very quickly and published just as fast, but something like The Untied Kingdom, which was my first UK novel, took years to get any interest.
