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.

  • Wedding Day.

    Just got back from our Niece’s wedding.  Don’t they make a lovely couple.  I’m the one in the hat.  Doesn’t everyone look great?  Our Mum made a smashing job of the flowers in the church.  That’s Mum and Dad under the arch.  I spotted the best man having a quiet ciggie.  Not the actual wedding…

  • What’s it all about Alfie?

    No, not Cilla Black songs, though I do love, ‘Anyone who ever loved, could look at me, and know that I lo..oove you.’ and my favourite. ‘You’re my world, you are my night and day.’ You either love them or hate them, Cilla’s songs are a bit like Marmite.  I love both, but what’s it…
