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 was thinking about the Woody Allen film as I read it!
Sounds like Mission Control came up with the most sensible plan in the end!

I'm finding these really fascinating. I had to go and look up the Greek words, but was intrigued by what I found, and you are adding a new dimension to these tales for me.

Very intriguing - I had a very vivid picture of the proceedings, and there is real sense of foreboding at the end. Enjoyed reading it.

This is beautiful, Jenny. Your poetry just gets better and better. I particularly loved the line 'I could dream all day growing a sense of who I am'. Really inspiring.
