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.)

As Rhiannon said, you capture the detail and the atmosphere so well. The story encapsulates so much about its time, and the human cost continues to capture our imaginations. Lovely commemorative piece, Paul.

As others have said, hooray for your daughter. I had a number of run-ins with hospitals about my parents' care, and I always wondered how those without assertive family members managed.
Poor Daphne, but it's so awful having to listen to...
