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.

  • A House near Luccoli.

    I was lucky enough to win a book. A House near Luccoli. It says on the front cover, A Novel of Musical Intimacy & Intrigue in 17th Century Genoa. By Diane Denton.   Looking forward to reading it, also the music of Alessandro Stradella is lovely.    

  • I’m an affiliate.

    Have a look at that little box on the side of my details if you’re looking for a relaxing break. I’m now an affiliate, makes sense as I talk about Devon so much. I do love Warwickshire at this time of the year though. The trees are looking stunning. We went a walk on the…

  • A review at last.

    It’s taken a while, but at last ‘Growing up in the 70’s’ has had a review. It’s not as brilliant as I’d like it to be, and the reviewer has read story one and two, and is about to start on the third, which is mine. Obviously I don’t agree that the stories don’t set…

  • Write1 sub1

    http://www.write1sub1.com/ I’m having a go at this.  Ray Bradbury’s idea of writing a piece of fiction and submitting one each week of the year.  I’ve finished typing up my latest story for People’s Friend, and I’ve got another idea to write up, so it’s going to plan so far. I’m still writing the novel, which…

  • New years day in the Garden.

    New years day in the Garden.

    It was a lovely sunny day here in Warwickshire, ideal for planting some bulbs. The pack said to plant by end of December, so they’ll make a splash of colour in mid to late spring. I love to grow lettuce in the winter months, the variety rosetta gives shiny leaves and tastes quite sweet. The…

  • Visualisation.

    The power of visualisation can often be underrated.  A philosopher once said, ‘The mind perceives, The mind believes, The mind achieves.  So when you want to have your stories accepted by Woman’s Weekly, Take a Break or People’s Friend, or Yours then you need to see your name and title of your story on the…

  • 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…

  • Exciting news.

    I recently entered the Romantic Novelist’s competition for new talent.  Take a look here and see who’s on the shortlist.  So now though I’m not doing nanowrimo as I’ve been busy telling Debz and Vanessa I am busy writing more of the story which is all in plan, now needs to be on paper.  It’s quite…

  • September issue of The Great War.

    The September issue of The Great War magazine has arrived with my article – The Gentle Poet, The Life and Death of Rupert Brook in there.  It will be available here in a couple of weeks.  I’m quite proud of it as it took quite a while to research but I found it really interesting as I’ve always loved…
