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.

  • Being an editor.

    Editing a magazine is quite hard work. I unexpectedly became an editor quite a while ago now. I started up a Pen Friend club back in the days of letter writing. This came about from when I’d read tarot cards for people who’d kept in touch, and liked to chat about all and everything. My…

  • Sewing the seeds.

    Daughter Ann’s been sewing seeds while she’s waiting for an operation. This is the cress, also there are cherry tomatoes and broccoli. So the windowsill looks like a mini nursery at the moment. Not only is cress easy to grow, its sprouting after only three days. Ideal for the children to do during half term,…

  • Sweet things.

    Our daughter tells me I’m obsessed with sweets. That’s not entirely true, except on Saturday nights. Maybe a couple of other days as well, mainly only days with a y in them. So, I went swimming on Friday to make up for it. She came too, then had an energy burst and cleaned out a…

  • Garden mascot.

    This little chap always makes me smile. I know he’s a bit on the bright side, but that’s the best way to be I think. He’s a mascot in our garden. When we moved house years ago, the removal men where aghast. Saying ‘What’s that thing?’ They weren’t keen to pick him up as they…

  • Another review.

    Another review, but they seem to get ruder, oh well, if someone doesn’t know that I is always written in capital, how can you take them seriously? That’s only me having a rant. That’s what I like about a blog. We can put within reason what we like, and nobody is going to say, ‘not…

  • I’ve won a book!

    How lovely to hear that I’ve won Lynne Hackles book – Ghost writing. Thanks to her daughter Leanne who has a new website. http://www.lingerlongerlingerie.co.uk That’s the tamer version, so good luck with it Leanne. I’m sure with Valentine’s Day on the horizon you’ll get off to a good start. Glad to hear you’re always on…

  • A review at last.

    It’s taken a while, but at last ‘Growing up in the 70’s’ has had a review. It’s not as brilliant as I’d like it to be, and the reviewer has read story one and two, and is about to start on the third, which is mine. Obviously I don’t agree that the stories don’t set…

  • Writing prompts.

    I’ve got a fabulous little green book called o level tests in English Language.  Great if you’re stuck and wondering about ideas.  Here’s a couple of ideas. Write about the following. 1.  A day which started badly.  Speaking of which, have you entered this competition yet?  I’ve got my idea, just need to type it…

  • Millionaire’s shortbread

    I wondered why it was called that until I tried it. It’s the richest thing I’ve ever eaten all in one go. There’s the shortbread base, which is one of my favourite, then a caramel toffee filling with nuts and raisins, also my favourite, topped with white chocolate, my absolute fave, so all in the…

  • How about this for a cake?

    You know sometimes you fancy a lovely cake and only a home-made one will do? Here’s mine. It’s got lemon juice in the mixture and some grated lemon rind. It’s a bit like stories. When you want the exact one, you have to write it yourself. I recently found a website for flash fiction. http://www.flash-fiction-world.com/…
