Susan Jones – Writer

recent posts

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.

Author page.

I’ve got an author page on Amazon. 

I’m cheating a smidgen as I’ve got short stories in these two books, rather than being the author of the book itself, but it’s a start.

Both of these are the kind that you can dip into. My’ High School Blues’ story in the 70’s one is about three girls who drift through school

not knowing what they’d end up doing.

The Cafe lit one has those kind of stories that you read while waiting for an appointment, or during a coffee break at work. Each story represents a

drink. Mine’s earl grey tea and is called ‘My Special Earl Grey.’

Now I’d like to do more e.publishing. I have some ideas in mind, it’s the technology that I need to grasp.

Our shop is looking empty now and someone is calling for the shelving next week.

Another story has been edited and typed up ready for Take a Break. I love People’s Friend, but I’m not sure my stories are quite suitable for there. I won’t stop trying though. This one’s about a wannabee detective.

If anyone’s thinking of subscribing to Writing Magazine, I would say the books that come with it are brilliant. Funny, informative and great to dip into.

      Thanks Patsy, I’m always joining up for things. It looked a good thing to do. Now I need to add more e.books, when I’ve written them:)))

    You’re not cheating at all – you are an author! Good luck with the new story.

      Oh Linda, you’re my best friend, thank you for that. We are all authors aren’t we? Thanks, will let you know about the story.

    The ‘technology’ for e-publishing isn’t too bad once you get into it. If you can use Word then you can format a book for Kindle.

    Hi Sally, you’re a great inspiration, I’m going to try and master it, hoping I don’t completely make a pigs ear of it. I do use Word, although a proper course would be a good idea. Thanks for the guiding light…

    Sally’s right. Kindle is very straightforward. Inspired by you I’ve just set up my own Amazon author page – thanks for the prompt.

    Well done on the author page and I didn’t know you could do this without a book on Amazon, so good to know this can be set up if you have stories in other collections. Good luck with TAB submission!

    Hi Tracy, it’s good isn’t it. I had to email them and ask if it was o.k. Then they put the books on there. Not sure if they make a habit of it, but if you don’t ask… Enjoyed your article in the Writing magazine. Thanks for the good luck.
