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 love the retelling of folk tales. This is a great ending to the familiar story. As the old woman opens the door, all seems as we expect it to be, and then such a lovely twist at the end. The descriptive language is wonderful, too. Very well...

This is absolutely beautiful, Di. I was right there on that beach with them. And those final couple of lines...I've got something in my eye.
Marvellous Pick of the Day.

A proper Christmassy tale. Glad to see the reference to 'It's A Wonderful Life', in my view as required now as 'A Christmas Carol'!
Enjoyed the read.

That's great - what a splendid thing for your friend to do.
Take or leave Marmite, eh? Stay well away from keen scientists. They'll have you in a lab, scanning you for traces of alien DNA. Life, but not as we know it

I'm so enjoying your advent calendar, Di. It's such a lovely idea. 'Fossilised Life's dark fires' - fabulous line.

Goodness me, that last line is a killer! Florence was definitely a lady of particular views!
Old wills are fascinating things, and it is always so interesting to see things like bedding and clothes carefully allocated - things like that...

Well done on taking the photograph! It's lovely.
This reminded me of my own garden in my old house. We had a bit behind some fruit trees that we left pretty much to itself, and the kids used to love going there - the trees screened them...
