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.

O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree

Now I know it’s coming closer, we’ve got our tree up.

TreeMr Polar bear is keeping an eye on the chocs under the tree and he brought a supply of glacier mints with him as well.

Christmas music to get you in the festive mood while you make mince pies.

What’s your favourite Christmas song? I love traditional ones like Little Donkey, and A Winter’s Tale

Speaking of a winter’s tale, I’m off to edit a story. And great news that Shirley Blair’s blog has news that we’ll be getting news from our People’s Friend entries.

Glad I didn’t have a burning desire to submit somewhere else. I am going to complete the story though as it’s something I’ve grown attached to, only yesterday I was thinking about the characters.

And just incase you wanted a sunny summer picture to compensate for the grey days, here’s one.

    It’s wonderful that Shirley will reply to every entrant, Suzy. I’m sure yours was a near miss.

      Ha, you’re being kind, but I did think I’d posted the winning entry when I sent it in, Bea.

    I’m doing our Christmas tree today – love listening to some of my seasonal CDs at the same time. One of my favourite carols is God rest Ye Merry Gentlemen because of the music and I do like Little Donkey too, as well as lots of others! Hope you get good feedback on your story, Suzy.

      Thanks, Rosemary, that’s another nice carol as well. Away in a manger is another cute one. Any feedback is better than none isn’t it. Quite good of them when there were so many entries.

    Good news about the People’s Friend comp, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
    And thanks for sharing your Christmas tree. There won’t be one in our house this year as we’re spending Christmas elsewhere, but there is one on the cover of my latest Alfie Dog story (plug!)

    It’sd all looking very Christmassy, Sue. I hope you have a lovely time. What good news about getting feedback on the PF serials. That’s going to be very helpful for everyone who entered. 🙂

      Yes, Jan, looking forward to hearing what they have to say. May be a while though as there were a lot of entries.

    Very festive!

    Fairytale of New York is one of my favourite Christmas songs.

    I love that one as well, Patsy. Kirsty McCall had a distinctive voice, and the Irish chap as well.

    I like all carols but especially ‘Oh Holy Night’.

      Yes, Wendy, that’s one I’d forgotten. I saw your message this morning and was singing it while cleaning the gents toilets today. Someone came out of a cubicle and gave me a strange look:))
