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.

  • Springtime

    Are you seeing signs of springtime around and about? Here’s a few pictures I captured in the garden earlier that show it’s only a matter of time before we have an explosion of colour and prettiness abound. Hope you enjoy the array of springtime flowers. Do you remember I was going to have a wardrobe…

  • Riviera days

    Just back from a few days in the English Riviera. This time we found time to go on the Torquay Eye, that’s the view from the top. We also had chance to check up on the country estate, it was in a bit of a state, but the gardens are fabulous. Anybody know where it…

  • Cosmic

    From the oxford dictionary The universe seen as a well-ordered whole. ‘he sat staring deep into the void, reminding himself of man’s place in the cosmos’  A system of thought. ‘the new gender-free intellectual cosmos’ An ornamental plant of the daisy family, which bears single dahlia-like flowers and is native to Mexico and warm regions…

  • Updating facebook

    Here’s our wedding photo from 2008. The reason I’m putting this here is because when I updated Facebook to put that I’m married, it immediately assumed I meant we’d got married on that day. So it doesn’t know much does it? I’m 12,000 words into the next book in the Redington/Country Matters series. This one’s…

  • Writing week

    I’m having a good writing week with a new Alfie dog story out, Martha knows best, and a letter in Writing magazine, and a piece on the lovely Lynne Hackles page, Random inspiration people. Thanks, Lynne for buying my book as well. Also Redington is now available in a book shop in Walsall, if you…

  • 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…

  • Happiness is…

    Hello to all my lovely followers, I’ve neglected the blog a bit lately, as we’ve been away on a break, and also relaxing and doing things. We had a break in Torbay, so that gave us change to catch up with family, and get a pic of the pirate on the boat. Torre Abbey gardens…

  • Say it with flowers

    When I go out in the mornings with my cleaning job in the blue van, we pass the island of flowers every day. Which reminds me it’s a hundred years this year that Edith Cavell, the Vicar’s daughter from Swaderton in Norfolk, and Rupert Brooke – Warwickshire soldier and poet, were killed. They were both…

  • Happy New Year.

    Happy new year to all my favourite followers, you know who you are. Yes, you.. and you and you of course. I’ve been a bit quiet lately, and thanks to those who noticed. One thing and another has kept me busy, and now I’m getting back to the writing. I’ve had a lovely diary from…

  • Scarecrow Weekend.

    It’s been a weekend of scarecrows in our local village. Here’s some pictures of the wide variety there were. Some would make great book covers wouldn’t they? And some were very real, like the lady in blue in the church. I was having a conversation with someone sitting down, and I thought, ‘blimey, this woman’s…
