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.

  • 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…

  • In search of a job, and upholstery.

    I’m off to an interview tonight for a telephone job, similar to the one I’ve just been made redundant from. Yesterday I went for an interview in a taco restaurant. Lovely ladies, and the smell of taco’s and burrito’s and other things was divine. Made me want to stay there for that alone, and I…

  • November giggle blog

    It’s time for a giggle on my blog. Well, the first one is I’m doing nano, http://nanowrimo.org/participants/suzydoodling I was going to add buddies, but not sure how, and I’m quite busy writing as you all probably are… We were having a family gathering last Sunday, as daughter Ann popped over from Melton. Whenever I’m with…

  • I’m nano-ing

    I’ve signed up for nano, so here’s my badge, and hoping to get some words on the page for the month of November. My writer friend Ann has pointed out that for anyone writing history, and anything concerning WW1, here is a good place to try. Britain at War. Also Best of British are asking…

  • Writing a novel.

    Have you ever written a novel, and been struggling with characters, and wondering why these people bother to get up in the mornings? I love choosing a catchy title, getting going with the opening lines, then a few more paragraphs. I even get through a chapter or two, then the interest drifts off. Once when…

  • Welcome to Mid-summer.

    Birds are tweeting, grass is being cut, sun’s shining and it’s great to be in England. It’s all happening in the garden now. Let’s start at the front… Alan dug up an overgrown, ugly old bush earlier on in the year. In it’s place, there are grass seeds coming up, looking lush. Beware of boxes…

  • Mills and Boon.

    I recently sent in a submission to Mills and Boon. Today I had a letter back from them saying that they appreciate the care and attention that has gone into the preparation of my submission. That’s a nice thing to say for a start isn’t it? My characters and story are not sufficiently developed for…

  • Reviewing A House near Luccoli

    I won a book from Diane Denton A House near Luccoli.  I couldn’t have imagined how romantic and poetic the story would be. I know Diane is a brilliant artist and poet, because I follow her blog and website. So reading the story, you feel as if you’re there, in 17th Century Genoa. It’s a…

  • Romantic writing.

    I prefer a proper book to e.books. I know we have to move forward, but for me, there’s nothing like sitting down to relax with a cup of earl grey and something good to read. Today I picked up five Mills & Boon books. Reason for that is that I’m writing my Hats off to…
