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.

  • New blog design

    Messing around with my new blog design, and adding gadgets and extra bits and bobs.  If anyone wants to be added to my list of writing friends, please send me an email or comment on the post, and I’ll put you on there. We’re getting ready for Christmas in our shop, putting up the decorations…

  • The Power of Three.

    One is lonely, two is a cosy couple, three is the magic number.  I’m talking about editing.  For maximum effect, when you’ve written a story, print it out and read it through.  Mark any parts where improvements could be made with a pencil, then put it to one side.  Next day, type it up with the…
