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.

  • Bargain of the week.

    Welcome to my new blog followers, and hello to ones who’ve been following me for ages.  I picked up the bargain of the month last Sunday from the market.  It was the complete works of Shakespeare. A hardback book, with pictures.  I asked how much it was, the man on the stall said, “You can…

  • September issue of The Great War.

    The September issue of The Great War magazine has arrived with my article – The Gentle Poet, The Life and Death of Rupert Brook in there.  It will be available here in a couple of weeks.  I’m quite proud of it as it took quite a while to research but I found it really interesting as I’ve always loved…

  • Paint me a picture, interview with Patsy Collins.

    I’d like to welcome Patsy Collins to my blog today to tell us a bit more about her recently released e.book ‘Paint me a Picture.’  I know it began as a short story, so here’s Patsy to tell us a bit more. SUE.  When did Mavis come to mind, and how long has she been…

  • Live on Amazon.

    Growing up in the 70’s is now live on Amazon.  You can find it here. The school kids are mostly back to school now, so that’s nice for them, and fantastico for us at the shop.  No more sticky fingers, and questions about ridiculous things like ‘do you two live together!!’ No, they’ve been mostly…

  • Kindle on the pc

    I’ve just downloaded all at sea by Teresa Ashby from Amazon.  It’s free, so there’s a good offer.  So now I have a kindle on the computer, me who thought I wouldn’t like one.  Though I have a good reason now to be kindled.  Here’s the copy of the actual cover of Growing up in…

  • Not long now.

    This is a good idea as a reminder to keep submitting.  I’ve just posted my news about the Growing up in the 70’s publication which should be sometime next week.   Here’s an outline of the cover, there’s more to be added from detail in the stories.  Mine’s called ‘High School Blues’  There are four…

  • Awards from Teresa.

    Teresa has sent me two lovely awards, thank you.  Not only for the awards, but for keeping me entertained with your smashing stories.  And Teresa is now on Twitter for anyone who may be on there and not following her yet.  One thing I always love about the stories written by Teresa is that there’s usually a family,…

  • Olympics.

    I watched the opening ceremony last night and I thought it was the best thing on t.v. for ages.  I’ve heard one or two say they were disappointed.  I can’t understand that to be frank.  Not that I’m a cross dresser, I’m Sue really of course.  But being frank again, it was amazing.  Those glowing…

  • I’ve won a competition!

    I was serving up our Sunday dinner tonight, lovely boiled ham, cabbage, carrots, peas and parsley sauce, with new potatoes from the garden when I had a text message.  One saying, you’ve won a competition.  I thought ‘oh yes, I know, you’ve won a cruise, just ring this number and blah blah blah, I almost…
