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.)

Very enjoyable. I was a real UFO fanatic in my teens, read pretty much everything there was, completely convinced. I'm glad there was no internet then because I would have been down that rabbit hole in no time! Now I'm a born again disbeliever,...

Really intrigued by this. The narrator's alienation amidst the family gathering is so well done. Very vivid. Really great IP response!

I often think, when nations are trying to find a common bond, conversations about the mystery of the lost socks would do wonderfully, as this does seem to be an international phenomenon. Nice take on the IP!

It's all so heartbreaking. Those young people with all their lives ahead of them, and this gentleman with memories and experiences he should have had time to savour, reflect on and share. Very very sad.
