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.)

Posted on Wed, 04 Dec 2024
I didn't know that Betjeman, so thank you! I enjoyed your poem, especially the third verse, which pretty much sums up my home town at the moment. Scrooge came around in the end, and while I don't believe in the sermons and hymns, I do believe in...

Many congratulations on the publication, and so pleased that, despite all the difficulties, you haven't let dyslexia stop you writing. So many people think it's just a 'one size fits all' condition, but there are so many permutations. My son,...

I blame Meghan. Maybe Harry a little bit, but definitely Meghan. Her and her woke Californian sandwiches.

How lovely to have you back writing again! This is beautiful, and wonderful to read after I've just spent an afternoon out in the freezing cold rain. Thank you for cheering me up.

Very glad to hear it has all gone so well, Jenny. Here's hoping that you recover fully in a very short space of time. And I do hope it won't be long before you're back writing again. I'm looking forward to your words taking me on some more...

I am certainly with your narrator here! Who wants to live forever?
A delicious bit of spooky to usher in Halloween (Usher pun totally unintended). That's a cracking image at the end, with the lights of the city reaching out. Thanks for an...
