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.

  • Visualisation.

    The power of visualisation can often be underrated.  A philosopher once said, ‘The mind perceives, The mind believes, The mind achieves.  So when you want to have your stories accepted by Woman’s Weekly, Take a Break or People’s Friend, or Yours then you need to see your name and title of your story on the…

  • Story to Take a Break.

    Sending out a story to take a break.  It’s one I entered into a competition and didn’t win.  I’m quite confident that it will be published somewhere though, so trying take a break first.  It’s a romantic story and there is a couple of blackbirds involved.  Can’t say anymore at the moment incase the editors…

  • New theme.

    Being as I am now working on my romantic novel, which was on the shortlist of Romantic Novelist’s Association competition for new talent, I thought it was time to update the theme of my blog from that cartoon one to a romantic one.  I like those two love doves don’t you.  I think they’d look…

  • Rats.

    Phew, I didn’t win the new talent competition with RNA, but getting to the shortlist was a great boost for me, and now I’m looking forward to the critique on chapter 1, and busy writing up more of the story.  Appologies to bloggie friends, you know who you are, J and R, as if you…

  • Exciting news.

    I recently entered the Romantic Novelist’s competition for new talent.  Take a look here and see who’s on the shortlist.  So now though I’m not doing nanowrimo as I’ve been busy telling Debz and Vanessa I am busy writing more of the story which is all in plan, now needs to be on paper.  It’s quite…

  • I’m Linked in.

    I’ve joined Linked in.  A place where you connect with other writers’ editors and publishers.  Seems like a good thing to do.  I’m also on twitter and goodreads and youwriteon.com. I really should be writing, but it’s fun to learn something new isn’t it? If you follow my blog or website and you’re on there, let…

  • Would you like to comment?

    I love commenting on blogs, and it’s great when people reply to mine, thanks Patsy for this lovely chatty badge.  It reminds me of the comics I used to read with the speech in them.  What was your favourite comic?  Mine was The Beezer, it was like a big newspaper and was full of great characters. …

  • Pumpkin pie or pumpkin soup?

    The market field was muddy on Sunday, but luckily we have a nifty little vehicle that loves driving through muddy fields.  Best selling items were light bulbs, children’s pictures, diarys, we even sold some of our chrysanths from the garden. I just can’t resist putting them on again they’re so beautiful.  I picked up a…

  • Lovely Abums.

    Here’s some pictures of my lovely abums.  All through childhood I called all flowers abums.  Reason being that my Grandad and Grandma has a plant nursery, and the topics of conversation that I always overheard at this time of the year were ‘lovely chrysanthemums’  They grew fields full of beautiful blooms for market, or customers who…

  • Now available, September issue of The Great War.

    Now available to buy, the September issue of The Great war can be found here.  I know I’ve been saying and saying and yes saying my article is in there, but now you can purchase it if you want to.  It’s a small press magazine, and you won’t be dissapointed if you paid the £6.00…
