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.

Jumping on the settee…

A creative cake to go with the reading.

It's got lemon curd and butter cream in the middle, icing on top.

Look what I’m up to today, on Creative Frontiers. Hope you enjoy reading how I began writing.

My latest poem is here, read about Aqua Marina sitting on her favorite rock. It’s for a competition, the theme is tide.

I’m in the middle of putting a collection of my poems on kindle, trying to get the pages to line up, might be a while^___^

Oh, how lovely, there are lots of new stories to download on Alfie dog today. Read about Brother Maurice, and why he’s dreading the school trip.

Also, stories from Jan Bayham and Patsy Collins, and Helena Sheridan to name a few…. If you want something to read this afternoon, take a stroll over to Alfie and enjoy.

Coming soon…. interview with regular People’s Friend writer, Suzanne Ross Jones……

    Thanks for the mention.

    I’ll have some cake please. It might help me get my head round the idea of Susan Jones, the writer, interviewing the writer Susan Jones!

    My dog and my grandchildren aren’t allowed to jump on the settee, Susan – but I think you have a good excuse to!

      Tuck in Teresa, I’ll cut you a large slice. Glad you enjoyed the Creative Frontiers slot. I’m popping up all over the place aren’t I? A bit like Zebedee from magic roundabout.

    Your poem made me fly to a peaceful beach…
    I also enjoyed the interview.
    I also love to read (and write) stories that deal with relationships, by the way.

    Great interview, Susan ~ you’re such a natural! I love the poem, too ~ it’s short and sweet but the imagery is powerful and evocative. And I must join up with Alfie Dog, so that I can download your stories. A great post, Susan ~ it’s inspiring! (And the cake looks yummy too!) 🙂

      Aw, Jacqueline, you say the nicest things. Glad you think I’m natural. When I went for the temping induction, the lady who I’m covering for said, ‘these are a friendly lot, they’ll help you if you’re stuck won’t you all?’ Silence, so I said, ‘nobody said yes!!’ Then they laughed and smiled. So hopefully they will help if needed:)

        Haha Susan! I’m sure they have been helpful ~ how could they not, after that cheeky introduction? 😉

    They’ve all been brilliant Jacqueline, I’d like to work there all the time, all they talk about is sandwiches, it’s a sandwich factory, food is the key subject…..:)))
