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.)

I really felt for you, Jenny.

I really felt for you, Jenny. I think nose piercings can look really good, but I would never have the courage to try it. Obviously the chap who did yours should never have been allowed anywhere near anyone's nose!

Good advice - never have your

Good advice - never have your stag do the night before the wedding! This was a giggle to read, I'm glad it turned out (more or less) all right for the happy couple.

Beautifully written and I

Posted on Wed, 13 Sep 2023

Beautifully written and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Except...I wanted more! I'm completely invested in Frank and I really would like to know what happened when/if he got out of that lift. No chance of a Part 2 I suppose?? I understand Frank cannot...

Excellent, brilliant ending.

Excellent, brilliant ending. Definitely the humdrum life for me. And don't come near me when I'm reading the paper in a cafe.

Tension really building up

Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023

Tension really building up now! They're going to need all that caffeine.

I've been in 'break rooms' like that. Stacy has all my sympathy.
