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.)

Things are so often not what they at first seem to be. Such a very sad story and yes, it precisely illustrates how powerless many women were at the time.

I've just caught up with all the previous episodes - as others have said, there is so much detail in here! I love the tone you have given to Florence - definitely a lady who takes no nonsense! Very much enjoyed the discussion about China. ...

Cats are endlessly

Cats are endlessly fascinating, which is the only reason we tolerate them when they treat us like something in their litter tray.
I would like to volunteer my cat as a tester for your cat stand. Perhaps Di's Tina would be interested too...
