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 love these - they take me
Posted on Wed, 05 May 2021
I love these - they take me right out of my ordinary day and give me a bit of magic and laughter.

I have to say that if I ever
Posted on Tue, 27 Apr 2021
I have to say that if I ever do see the sunrise these days, it tends to be at the end of my day rather than the start! I'm another one who doesn't really do early mornings, but reading your lovely poem makes me think maybe I should give it a go...

Brought back so many memories
Posted on Tue, 15 Dec 2020
Brought back so many memories! The feeling of pleasure when you've found something they like doing and that will keep them occupied. The feeling of hysteria when they like it so much you're doing it or reading that story for the 240th time! ...

I thought it was a bit more
Posted on Sat, 31 Oct 2020
I thought it was a bit more ambiguous than a prank, just from the scale of the thing. I was assuming that Mr Hain had a very special hotel and was able to produce effects that owed more than a little to 'special powers'. However, did think it...

You have so cleverly created
Posted on Thu, 23 Jul 2020
You have so cleverly created an atmosphere where their nerves are jangling, and everyone they come across might be an enemy. And then it's a relief when someone is kind to them, but the reader is still on edge because it might not last. The...

Still utterly gripped by this
Posted on Mon, 13 Jul 2020
Still utterly gripped by this, but not totally convinced by Piru's 'voice'. I understand the formality of her English, because of the way she was taught, but whereas every word Emmet and Abigail speak strengthens the character portrayal, and I...

Posted on Fri, 03 Jul 2020
Just read all the parts of this straight through, and most disappointed that there's not a link to another one! I remember the first draft of this, which I really enjoyed, but this is another level entirely. Utterly engrossing. The characters...

Agree so much with your words
Posted on Sun, 14 Jun 2020
Agree so much with your words about 'tolerance'. Tolerance of others is a privilege for the powerful.
I'm going to be coming back to this one, because there's so much in there to think about.
