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.

  • Story to Take a Break.

    Sending out a story to take a break.  It’s one I entered into a competition and didn’t win.  I’m quite confident that it will be published somewhere though, so trying take a break first.  It’s a romantic story and there is a couple of blackbirds involved.  Can’t say anymore at the moment incase the editors…

  • Rats.

    Phew, I didn’t win the new talent competition with RNA, but getting to the shortlist was a great boost for me, and now I’m looking forward to the critique on chapter 1, and busy writing up more of the story.  Appologies to bloggie friends, you know who you are, J and R, as if you…

  • Would you like to comment?

    I love commenting on blogs, and it’s great when people reply to mine, thanks Patsy for this lovely chatty badge.  It reminds me of the comics I used to read with the speech in them.  What was your favourite comic?  Mine was The Beezer, it was like a big newspaper and was full of great characters. …

  • Pumpkin pie or pumpkin soup?

    The market field was muddy on Sunday, but luckily we have a nifty little vehicle that loves driving through muddy fields.  Best selling items were light bulbs, children’s pictures, diarys, we even sold some of our chrysanths from the garden. I just can’t resist putting them on again they’re so beautiful.  I picked up a…

  • Super sweet blogging award.

    Thanks to Maureen from Writer’s Checklist for nominating me for this sweet award.  Now to answer some questions. 1.  Cookies or cake?  Definately cake. 2.  Chocolate or vanilla?  Mmmm vanilla. 3.  What is your favourite sweet treat?  That would be difficult as there are quite a few.  But I like something on the plain side…

  • Lovely Abums.

    Here’s some pictures of my lovely abums.  All through childhood I called all flowers abums.  Reason being that my Grandad and Grandma has a plant nursery, and the topics of conversation that I always overheard at this time of the year were ‘lovely chrysanthemums’  They grew fields full of beautiful blooms for market, or customers who…

    Now available to buy, the September issue of The Great war can be found here.  I know I’ve been saying and saying and yes saying my article is in there, but now you can purchase it if you want to.  It’s a small press magazine, and you won’t be dissapointed if you paid the £6.00…
