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.

  • Something Regal

    We had a lovely time at Blenheim Palace yesterday. It’s well worth a visit if you haven’t been there before, and we learned a lot from the knowledgeable tour guide. Then we had a wander around the garden. A couple of helicopters were circling the Palace, then landed in the garden. A trio emerged and…

  • A jog with a view

    I’ve been going to the gym most days over the last week. On Thursday, me and my gym buddy got to the reception. I’d love to blog about what happened next, but on a scale of 1 – 10 it comes around about 9 and a half, so I have to send it off to…

  • A touch of Cilla

    I know we’re well into the new year, but didn’t you just love that bit when Cilla’s voice rang out into the London sky? We did, so incase you missed it, there it is. So, I’ve started on chapter one of my next Redington book, and most of our left over chocs and nibbles have…

  • What’s missing?

    We’ve had a smashing weekend, and got rid of some dead wood. If you look closely, at the pictures, you’ll see what I mean. Where that old green shed was, is where we sat to go, ‘Yahoo, the shed has disappeared…’ It was due to be demolished about ten years ago, and kept coming in…

  • Alfie dog competition

    Are you all having a go at the Alfie dog writing competition? Read all about it here. I’m planning my entry and the prizes are amazing so if you’re a writer of short stories, you’d have to be mad not to try it. And, the entry fee is downloading 5 different author stories. If you…

  • Malaya garnet.

    These are some stunning clematis that I love. They’re lovely rambling among the greenery in the borders.   I had a job to get on to my own blog! How rude. Now I’ve tried a different browser and it’s alright. Aren’t technical things funny. If it isn’t the browser it’s the cookies or the cache.…

  • New job, and temp job.

    I’ve been to the gym today, and spent some lovely time in the garden as well. Now I’ve got a part-time job, yippee… that’s good news. Things come together don’t they. First you have no job, then the temp agency say, ‘can you go and be a receptionist for a day at the place you…

  • Have a lovely Easter

    Enjoy Easter weekend, whichever way you’re going to. We’re still on painting the fence, in-between relaxing, reading, chatting to family who will be popping in. Also, I want to plant the garden with something from the local farm shop. The doughnut man is hoping to be busy, but I’m busy at the gym now, so…

  • From shabby chic, to sleek teak.

      Here’s the before and after pictures of our garden fence. It’s cedar red to be precise, but that doesn’t rhyme with shabby chic. I was wondering what that white thing like a mushroom was in the picture, it’s a bit of washing that popped in there. As we sat having a cup of tea,…

  • Tempting temping.

    Temping week is over, and I had a great time. Really friendly people, and my own little office to answer the phone, and sort the post, tick off a register of who’s in, who’s out on business, and who’s on holidays.  Felt a bit like being the teacher, for a week. I’ve just got to…
