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 kittens are doing nicely, thank you.

Great cliffhanger, and I really have fellow feeling with Vanessa. If ever I have to do anything to my laptop, I live in fear that it will suddenly wake up and ask me what I think I'm doing. Also, I really want to know what happened in Hunstanton...

Never mind last rites - when I go I want last highlights with full conditioner and head massage. I'm assuming I'm going downstairs, and I don't think they're much with the personal grooming. Get it while you can.
