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.)

Delightful, Jenny. As a cat

Delightful, Jenny. As a cat lady myself (I've had four over the years, but never more than two at a time!) I recognised a lot of this. My present mog is sitting next to me keeping an eye on things, as she always does!

Posted on Tue, 24 Nov 2020
I'm fascinated by octopuses too, and I was gutted when I learned how short their lives are. They're so brilliantly intelligent, and in a way that's totally alien to us. They do appear to have a sense of humour, though, so perhaps there are...

Love that link, Luigi. That'll be me, rigging up my radio and fuelling my (non-existent) car with wood. Or not. Being a marauding Zombie sounds much more fun.

Absolutely beautiful poem, Rachel, and that beak clacking video filled me with joy too! My cat was fascinated. Probably for entirely the wrong reasons.

Absolutely splendid, Jenny!

Absolutely splendid, Jenny! I so enjoyed this chapter. I think the words “Try not to singe my rat to the point of no return.” may well become a staple of meal times in my household.

So enjoyed these first two parts, Jenny. Your use of language is really beautiful, and I'm totally caught up in this magical world. Looking forward to the next part!

I'm a great fan of the Broadcasting House programme, Sunday mornings on Radio 4, and have been following Paul's story on there. They played the orchestral version of his four note tune yesterday, I was in absolute floods. Soon to be a single...
