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.

  • Computer course

    The computer course is going well, mind you, today was a bit of a blur as I’ve got a type of head cold, crossed with hay-fever. He put the exam in front of me and after answering the first question, I had to abandon it and go over all the excel information again. I’ve passed…

  • 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…

  • June Giggle blog.

    It’s a new month, that means it’s time for the giggle of the month. What’s been making me giggle lately? I have a couple of giggles; the main one comes from daughter Ann. I’m sure she won’t mind me sharing, as it is very funny. Another smaller giggle came on Thursday. I went for 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…

  • 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.    

  • The Glory of the Garden.

    The Glory of the Garden Our England is a garden that is full of stately views, Of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues, With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by; But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than meets the eye. Rudyard Kipling. To read the rest of the…

  • 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…

  • All aboard the giggle-jerker.

    At the beginning of every month I do a giggle blog. This consists of anything that’s made me giggle lately. If you want to do the same on your blog, leave a comment so that others can pop over and see more giggles. Here’s the bus that takes you to Agatha Christie’s holiday home. It’s…

  • Ahoy there!

    Isn’t this sunny weather a treat? Now I’m planning an article for the ‘Just back‘ telegraph competition. Mostly they like exotic places like a cruise telling of the Northern Lights, or hiking through the Sahara Desert, but lots are in this country as well, so if you’ve been anywhere or setting off somewhere nice, keep…
