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.

  • Have a lovely Easter

    Enjoy Easter weekend, whichever way you’re going to. We’re still on painting the fence, in-between relaxing, reading, chatting to family who will be popping in. Also, I want to plant the garden with something from the local farm shop. The doughnut man is hoping to be busy, but I’m busy at the gym now, so…

  • Welcome Teresa Ashby

    It is my greatest pleasure to welcome our all time favorite People’s Friend writer – Teresa Ashby to my blog. For quite a few years, I’ve been following Teresa’s stories, and I always used to think, ‘I’m sure she’s a bit like me,’ or does she even exist? Now, through following Teresa’s blog, it’s lovely…

  • From shabby chic, to sleek teak.

      Here’s the before and after pictures of our garden fence. It’s cedar red to be precise, but that doesn’t rhyme with shabby chic. I was wondering what that white thing like a mushroom was in the picture, it’s a bit of washing that popped in there. As we sat having a cup of tea,…

  • Giggle blog, April.

    Time for giggle blog, and this month the giggle is on me. You may remember, that I had a major surprise on the go for someone special who was having a big birthday, that isn’t for a few weeks yet? Well, it’s tricky keeping secrets when normally you tell each other everything, and I’m told,…

  • Tempting temping.

    Temping week is over, and I had a great time. Really friendly people, and my own little office to answer the phone, and sort the post, tick off a register of who’s in, who’s out on business, and who’s on holidays.  Felt a bit like being the teacher, for a week. I’ve just got to…

  • Scrubbers in the garden.

    No, not me and Nellie Aldridge, and if you’re reading this Nellie, you know I don’t mean it. And, I’m not going to google you, because I’m sure you’re sitting there, eating your sweets, and saying ‘who cares.’ The sun was out in Warwickshire today, so it was great to get in the garden. Me…

  • Welcome Suzanne Ross Jones.

    Hi Susan – and thank you so much for inviting me to visit your blog today. Q1.  When did your first story appear in People’s Friend? Suzanne.     My first People’s Friend story appeared in the issue dated 6th October 2010. As I’m sure you can imagine, I was thrilled – especially as a lot of…

  • Jumping on the settee…

    A creative cake to go with the reading. Brother Maurice is hiding in the cloisters. Look what I’m up to today, on Creative Frontiers. Hope you enjoy reading how I began writing. My latest poem is here, read about Aqua Marina sitting on her favorite rock. It’s for a competition, the theme is tide. I’m…

  • 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.…
