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.)

Can't believe I've never heard of her before. An amazing story. I hope she found happiness in the years she reclaimed from all that brutality.

A bit like insert, I was thinking about the judges who had previously taken Molloch's floral arrangements, and whether that will make a difference? As absorbing as ever!

What lovely memories, Jenny, and a lovely photo! The song is so typical of that time - you just have to hear the opening few bars to be taken right back there.

Hi Jean
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and for your lovely comment. My mum had a couple of experiences, like you, both when her sister and my dad died, that we were never able to explain. They were very fleeting, but...

This is a lovely piece for Women's Day, Jenny. I could see Rosa's garden, and there's so much wisdom in those last few lines. It was a pleasure to read - I found it very calming, and reassuring. I'd like a cup of tea with Rosa in her garden!

I'm always in awe of people who can write haiku, because it's such a difficult form. You have to have a razor sharp focus and at the same time make it sound completely natural. This conjures a lovely, peaceful picture. I hope we'll have more...

Completely absorbing. There's such a feeling of dread that keeps increasing so that while you want to read on - indeed you can't stop yourself reading on - at the same time you're almost afraid to. More, please! I think.
