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.

  • 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…

  • Pansy Potting

    It’s that time of the year when I go and put something nice on an old Auntie, and grandad and grandma’s grave. Also, we go to visit Alan’s Dad’s and grandma’s. This year I’ve made up some pansy pots; they will last through to the spring, and also, they’ll survive the frosts and any snow…

  • 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…

  • The Kindness of Rosemary.

    Thank you Rosemary……. I had a great start to the day, I opened an email to find that my Stardust the Racehorse story is the story of the week on Alfie dog short story downloads website. Now this made me so happy, and I hope you all download and read about Stardust. Hope you enjoy…

  • 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…

  • October giggles, and scarecrow weekend.

    I sat next to a girl at work the other day, and after her call, she turned to me and whispered, ‘oh, I think I laughed there when I shouldn’t have.’ Her face was a picture, and then she went on to tell me she had to quickly turn it in to a cough. The…
