Hello, and welcome to my website ~ here you will get a view on my books and life as a published author. It’s been a long journey to getting here ~ finally I am now writing full time and hope you enjoy what you find here. If you want to get in touch, follow the links, and I’ll get back to you soon.

Susan Jones writes romantic drama with a touch of humour, and historical sagas as Lydia King. She lives in North Warwickshire, and loves walking through the beautiful woodlands where she lives, and gardening and reading are her pastimes.

Debz 200 competition.

I heard from Jessica Baggaley from Writing magazine, that a letter of mine is going in the next issue of Writing magazine, or it could be Writer’s News will let you know more on that nearer the time.

Now over on Debz writing blog, she’s got a competition going on.  You need to post 200 words of fiction, she’s asking for dialogue, a voice, characters that stand out.  You can see my go here. http://wordznerd.wordpress.com/2012/07/12/have-you-got-the-it-factor/  You can win a chance of having up to 2,000 words edited.  The story I’ve posted on there is called – Granddad’s Piano.  I’ve sent it to People’s Friend, who sent it back, but I think it’s a story worth working on.  It’s been on www.youwriteon.com as well, where I had some great help.  Hope you enjoy the start of it, then one day hopefully it’ll be published in full.

I’ve just about finished my entry to the Black Coffee Publishing site, Leaving home for the first time.  The one – Growing up in the 1970’s is due to be released on the 29th July.

    Thanks for the heads up on Debz competition – I must have something tucked away in my store cupboard that I can enter…

      Good luck Sally, there’s also a book of short stories included in the prize as well, forgot to mention that.

    You’re so busy! I am totally lacking in inspiration at the moment – maybe I need a holiday! It’s either that or I’ll have to run away and join the circus.

      Oh Julia, that’s so funny, you could write a story about that. I made my slogan for this year – Just write, right! so that’s what I’m doing. I am having fun as well.
