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.)

Thank you Stephen - if you don't mind, I'll take that for my epitaph. Entertaining and odd in the best kind of way. I can think of nothing better. I might add 'Much enjoyed', but it could raise questions from my kids.

Thank you, Jenny! Ah, dolls' hospitals! I remember taking a couple of precious dolls to be nursed back to life there. It was such a lovely concept. I had several of those dolls in national costume - they were all the rage then. I used to put...

I found this very moving, celtic - not at all related to the fact that I too have basal skin carcinoma! A really involving portrait of your Dad.

I love the feeling of motion and the urgency of growth in this, Rhiannon. It's a lovely thing to read.
