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 looked him up, too. This is a marvellous poem that really conveys the strength of his work. His paintings of trees particularly struck me - there's one called The Ghost Tree which I can't quite get out of my mind. Great work Di!

Ah, great to hear that from the eye doctor. I like to think of you still smiling, Jean, and being strong and even mischievous enough to turn your experiences into such a wonderful journal. Hooray for jelly babies!

I listen to the shipping

Posted on Wed, 10 Aug 2022

I listen to the shipping forecast most nights before I go to sleep, I even have my favourite announcers! It will be even more magical for me now, after reading this. Beautiful poem.

Absolutely noodling fantastic. Bring the next couple of parts through that wormhole quick. I always knew, I always knew, that pasta was up to something.

Lovely first part, Paul.

Lovely first part, Paul. Please don't make us wait too long for Part Two! 

Oddly enough, I have just been watching the TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman'. A number of fluttering wings in that and I was thinking, it's a bit of...

It's always so lovely when

Posted on Tue, 09 Aug 2022

It's always so lovely when one person's work inspires another. This is magical, Jenny - and it took me back, too! Oh those days when, as you say, a fiver would last you for days. I haven't been to Cornwall since I was a child, but your poem has...

Always the 'cancelled' making

Posted on Sun, 07 Aug 2022

Always the 'cancelled' making the most noise. I'm glad you warned me about the possibility of finding Piers Morgan on three channels at once. I might have had PTSD for a very long time if I had come across him three times by accident.
