About the author
Jayne Norman
9 books12 followersI am Jayne Norman and I am a fiction author based in Lincolnshire in the UK. My day job was a Teacher/Trainer of IT & Computing up until March 2020. I now work part-time for the NHS in Administration. I decided to leave teaching to free up time to focus on my writing.
In 2013, a cheeky Jack Russell Terrier puppy, called Eddie chose me as his forever parent. He has been my constant companion ever since. We provide each other with unconditional love and Eddie has been by my side through all my ups and downs.
In 2015, I decided to write a daily blog about Eddie's Adventures. This blog has been a great success, gaining almost 6,000 followers, across Facebook and Instagram, at the time of writing this. A few fans suggested that I turn the blog into a book. At first, I thought they were just being very kind. Then, a few more followers and family members suggested the same thing.
I published my first book 'The Adventures of Eddie Lightning: Six Sides to Eddie Lightning and Seven Days in the Life of a Superhero' on 3rd March 2020, in time for World Book Day. My books are written from Eddie's perspective and in 'dog speak', to make it fun, humorous and light-hearted. The first book is aimed at dog lovers of all ages from around 8 years old upwards. The book is also suitable for adults to read to younger children. It focusses on getting to know Eddie's funny character, along with his likes and dislikes.
I completed and published my second book in the series, called 'Shenanigans in the Snow'. This was released on 15th February 2021, again in time for World Book Day. This book is aimed at 2-5 year olds and dog lovers of any age.
My third book in the series 'Antics at Agility' is now available. This book was published on 12th April 2021 and is aimed at 2-5 year olds and dog lovers of any age.
Eddie Lightning wears a different superhero mask for each adventure that he goes on. His masks help him to find the canine superpowers he needs to survive each escapade.
I write my books under a pen name. I have used a pen name for social media for many years, due to wanting to remain anonymous to the students I taught.
I chose Jayne, as this is my middle name, and when I was a child I loved to say my middle name was 'Jayne', with a 'Y'. I chose Norman, as this is my late father's first name, who passed away years before I began writing. I miss him so much and hope that he is looking down on me with pride.
I am a member of the Lincolnshire Authors Association and I feel proud to include their logo in my promotional material.
I would appreciate networking with other authors, editors, publishers and reviewers from around the world and would greatly appreciate any reviews of my books.
I am currently writing my fourth and fifth books ‘Laughter in the Lake’ and 'Bath Time Bonanza', so watch this space!

Book three in the series is just wonderful. This time, the story centers around the adventures Eddie has at his agility lessons. Like the author has already accustomed us, we are presented with all sorts of fun adventures, as the dog with superhero powers is always ready for mischief.
My daughter loved all the books in the series. She could not wait to read another adventure with Eddie Lightning, the canine superhero! In this short story, we had the opportunity to see him engaging in mischief, creating chaos at this weekly agility lessons. Of course, like in the previous stories, he will not hesitate to involve his friends.
The author knows how to create stories that keep young children entertained. His fun adventures have brought many smiles on my daughter’s face, and these are just the kind of books I am looking to add to our home library. The story is perfect for dog lovers of any age. I may repeat myself, but who wouldn’t love a superhero doggy?
You will love to see Eddie Lightning having fun with his “pawsome” friends, turning their training sessions into antics. Mischief is the word of the day, but I could not help to notice how the author transformed the story once again into a lesson. We see Eddie using his superpowers to conquer different challenges at his agility lessons, which I believe teaches young children to rely on their strengths to achieve the things they want in life. Great story!

I so enjoyed reading this book.
It was my first introduction to Jayne Normans books.
We had the privilege to meet Jayne about 6 weeks ago on one of her walks with Eddie and Coco .
Reading her exciting blog daily on fb and so enjoying Eddie Lightnings adventures created curiousity to purchase this lovely book.
I love the creative and animated language used to express Eddies thoughts and can't wait to share these books with our grandschildren and intoduce Eddie in person!
Children will be able to relate to Eddies antics and mischievous loving nature. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next which is such a valuable part of creating young readers interest in books from a very early age.
The agility sessions Eddie and his new friends attended once a week will encourage children to enjoy and have fun when being introduced to new experiences.
The illustrations are so colourful and attractive and give the young readers a clear visual explanation of the content of the book.
The way the book is written by Jayne makes it exciting and fun to read . Both their bubbly peronalities and their loving relationship is so very evident.
Hoping there will be many more books to read and enjoy .
