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).

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.)

Completely delightful, Penny. I had a chuckle at the idea of Willow magicking her cat bed - exactly what any self-respecting feline would do. The parrott is another lovely character. I am looking forward to meeting the new familiar!

I didn't know they were witches thimbles - but that makes perfect sense. Evocative as ever, Jenny, you always take us right into the heart of what you're writing about.

This is beautiful, Rhiannon. Lovely response to the IP and a thought-provoking look at the woods in the different seasons. Gave me a real feeling of being there.

So glad to hear you've had some good news...
