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.)

This is wonderful, Di - I have such a clear picture of you working away to make this wonderful habitat. I don't think I've seen a single bee this summer - we used to get lots of them where I lived before, along with all the other creatures that...

I really wanted to cheer the courage shown in this. I've never been a fan of 'not speaking ill of the dead'. If it needs to be said, say it. Takes a lot of guts to do it at a family funeral.

What a lovely tribute, Rhiannon, and that's a great photograph. Lots of humour, and love, and a real pleasure to read.
