Welcome to my website.
My name is Jane Lightbourne and I write fiction for children and adults, published by Nevada Street Press. I live in London with my three children and our two cats. I originally trained as a barrister. You can find out more about me and my books by using the links above.
My new chapter book for children 8 to 12, A Tale of Three Tabbies, is out now.
Based on a real rescue, it’s a heart-warming survival story that will appeal to animal
lovers of all ages. LoveReading4Kids have described it as
“A heart-warming survival story - a tale of hope, humanity, triumph over danger and
adversity, and winning against all the odds.”
Early reviews have been very positive and I’m delighted to confirm that Waterstones is stocking
the title in its bookstores. I have arranged for a second edition to be printed and the new cover
is pictured here. A percentage of royalties from the sale of the book will go to help Greek cat
welfare charities.
