Trusted critic
airyfairy's picture

I write all sorts, some of it SF, urban fantasy and horror, a lot of it not. Sometimes I can even be funny, so I'm told. My short stories have appeared in the anthologies 'Cold Iron: Ghost Stories from the 21st Century' (Iron Press) and 'Science Fiction For Survival: An Archive For Mars' (Valley Press), as well as in magazines ranging from the literary magazine 'Dreamcatcher' to 'Writing Magazine' and 'The People's Friend' (the latter definitely not SF, urban fantasy or horror). I do regular local spoken word events, and needless to say there is a novel on the go. Do come and have a peep at the blogs, stories and audio at https://www.janeayrie.com - you can even go mad and sign up for my newsletter! Plus the usual social media stuff. All details below. Thanks for dropping in! (Oh, the picture is of my highly critical personal editor.)

The imagery is so wonderful - 'a capriciousness of white horses' and the moon 'spat from the mouth of a fanfare of clouds'.  Mystery and magic.  It's great.

Posted on Tue, 12 May 2015

I love the detail in this, the way you gradually reveal the strangeness of the environment, and the way you have built up these two characters and their relationship, so that by the time we start to get an idea of what might be happening we...

Thank you so much for reading and commenting - and for the Cherry!  Something to treasure when I ring the water company and confess I've lost my stopcock.
