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.)

I usually find the one that gives you most grief is actually the keeper. It's the one that says "Let's just be nice and please everyone" that can't be trusted.
Thanks, Turlough.

Posted on Thu, 21 Aug 2025
A wonderful tale, Turlough, and, like others, I'm grateful for the reminder of Julie Felix. I'd forgotten how good her voice was! We always watched her TV show way back when. I may well be doing my own bit of noodling around Spotify over the next...
