BEST SELLING AUTHOR Jane E James lives in the UK with her cats Hero and Halo.

When she isn’t writing (or reading) Jane enjoys living ‘the good life’ in the Rutland countryside, in a small village close to the town of Stamford, Lincolnshire in the UK; known for its quirky tea shops and cobbled streets. Many of Jane’s stories are set in the Stamford and Peterborough areas where she lives.

An animal lover, who believes ‘all life is precious’ Jane is a vegan and an animal rights advocate. Jane lives with her two cats Hero and Halo. Although born in Cambridgeshire, she is half Welsh and hopes, one day, to retire to the mountains of South Wales, where she feels closest to her late mother, whose maiden name ‘James’ is where she gets her pen name from. Once there, she plans to adopt and rescue all kinds of animals including donkeys, sheep, chickens and goats.

Rebecca, Carrie, The Woman in Black and Wuthering Heights are among some of Jane’s favourite reads.
