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.

  • Latest news.

    Hello blog followers, new ones and lovely old ones. How exciting, the latest writing magazine landed on the mat today. It’s a job to know which bit to read first as it’s all good. I have to confess my favorite regulars are Lynne and Lorraine.  Now I have a feeling Lynne is psychic; this is…

  • March giggle blog.

    I’ve taken up swimming again. Our Son goes to the gym in the same leisure centre. I nabbed a lift with him the other day. After, when we came out, he needed a present for someone, from the Co-op. As we were leaving, my Sister pulled up, so we had ten minutes for a chat.…

  • Short story week.

    It is for me, I am the featured author on Alfie dog. Thanks to Rosemary Kind, editor on Alfie dog, and author of her own novel for giving me the chance to be featured. Stories are 39p each to download if you’d like to read any of those. Or, the came as me, left as…

  • February Giggle blog

    Time for a giggle or two again. Last week, Ann came over from Leicester to have her car serviced and mot’d. We got round to talking about Valentine’s Day. So I asked her what she had in mind for her boyfriend. She mentioned heart-shaped cookies, and I said, ‘you could make fudge, and wrap it…

  • Having a break.

    Sometimes, as Lynne Hackles often writes in her column in the writing magazine, having a break from writing can be beneficial. We recently had a week in Devon. Here we are in Torquay, waiting for someone special to come along. Me and our eldest son share a January birthday, so we had a meal out…

  • January Giggles.

    It’s a week in to January, and time for a giggle blog. It’s my birthday today, I wouldn’t normally mention it, but after having so many nice surprising messages on facebook a lot of people already know that. Our lovely daughter Ann popped by at the weekend with her boyfriend Paul. To say hello, and…

  • 2013 in review, thanks to all my followers.

    The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 3,500 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 58 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the…

  • Chain blog.

    I’ve been linked in by Patsy for the chain blogging. So here’s my answers to the questions. 1. What am I working on. A/ Hats off to Love is my novel, that is finished in rough draft, but not to a publishable standard, and please stop sniggering anyone who’s read it, I know…. it needs…

  • January writing magazine.

    The latest writing magazine has arrived. Great articles from Rosemary, on publishing with createspace which was interesting. Thanks Lorraine for mentioning the review situation. Where people leave a bad review without reading the whole book. Also, Helen’s star letter about blogging and spoiling your book sales was interesting. Sometimes if I’ve had too much information,…

  • Nano and giggles.

    Oh, I completed nano, with 50,375 words. I finished before the end of November, but stopped at that. Phew, talk about neck ache, shoulder ache and wrists aching. Writing is hard work. I dreamed of floating around in pink with a pooch under my arm like Barbara Cartland. Feels more like labouring on a building…
