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.)

Great approach to the IP. Sometimes the memories and our imaginations are what get us through.

Lovely, carefree days, Rhiannon. You've brightened my afternoon - it is raining the proverbial cats and dogs here, but no lovely squishy mud to jump in!

Not sure whether to laugh or cry at the rude mechanicals at the moment. All that seems to matter is 'will it cut through?' not 'is it f***ing immoral?'.
Those last couple of lines are zingers. Captures the fantasy and the present genuine...
