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.

  • To coin a cliche.

    Take a look at Ruth’s post here.  I have an affection for the cliché; I know they’re classed in the writing world as wrong. In this months Writing magazine one of the letters is from a reader who is in despair at being told her work was loaded with the little gems. I’ve sent in…

  • I’ll triond make some money.

    That’s a joke really; I joined the site triond where I write articles. http://gomestic.com/cooking/m-c-beaton-agatha-raisin-and-the-quiche-of-death/ It’s good fun as there’s a way to add pictures and you can write absolutely anything within reason. I’ve earned around sixty pence in two years. Woo-hooo, what shall I spend it on??? It’s partly my own fault though as they…

  • Giggle blog.

    Welcome to Springtime, and giggle blog for April. This one concerns e.bay and the delights or perils attached. I can’t moan because we put all the shop shelving and other large fixtures on there, which went well. There was one old counter that had been stuck up a corner in the back of the shop,…

  • Questions on writing and life.

    Thanks to blog friend Lynne for passing on these questions –  What me and Lynne have in common is that we both started with a letter in Woman’s Realm. Lynne’s was about two seagulls flying up the motorway; mine was about drying thistles to use in flower arranging from the garden. I have quite a…

  • Reality check.

    Remember when I said I’d sent a letter in to That’s Life back in January? Well I had an email to say that my letter is in this weeks edition. Issue 13 dated 28th March. They’re always looking for funny stories, so if you have any, send them in. It’s nice when you hear, ‘The…

  • People’s Friend moment.

    You know when you have a moment that you think a miracle has occurred? No I don’t have many, but there was one today. A moment when you know there are some lovely people in the world, and you give the manager of the co-op a hug and she looks at you as if you’ve…

  • Author page.

    I’ve got an author page on Amazon.  I’m cheating a smidgen as I’ve got short stories in these two books, rather than being the author of the book itself, but it’s a start. Both of these are the kind that you can dip into. My’ High School Blues’ story in the 70’s one is about…

  • That’s Art.

    How about this for a piece of artwork? It’s a vision of the conscious and the subconscious mind. A mind that’s full of flowers, butterflies and a pair of phoenix’s. Our Daughter’s keeping busy, some talent eh? I’ve re-worked a story for Take a Break. Not my usual kind of story, but that could be…

  • Fiction on Alfie dog.

    Somebody has downloaded one of my stories Pier into the Future from Alfie dog. It’s a romantic story set in Brighton. So thank you whoever you are, and hope you enjoyed it. There’s four of my stories on there in all so far. Tommy’s Dragons – About a Mum who’s anxious when her little boy…

  • Giggle blog.

    At the start of every month, I’ll be doing a giggle blog. I’m sure we all love a bit of a giggle, as long as nobody’s being made a fool of, that wouldn’t be nice. The thing that made me giggle yesterday was this. A lady came and did a bit of shopping, as you…
