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.)

Beautifully structured, and with a lovely wry tone. I really enjoyed reading this.

So sorry to hear about your brother, Grace. It might well be an idea to ring 111, if he is very breathless,and obviously you also need to protect yourself. It's so hard, but you may be putting yourself in danger by visiting him. What a very...

Lovely response to the IP. Such a poignant last line! If nothing else, this is teaching us never to take even the company of strangers for granted.

I actually don't mind a superhero movie - they're the time's way of trying to make sense of itself by retelling old myths and hey, you know, Chris Hemsworth. But once I've seen it I've seen it, and I can't really see the point of subscribing to...

I am so enjoying these. They're brilliantly written. I hope Jim Morrison will be live streaming his musical creations before too long. Next time you see Tom Petty, ask him if Steve McQueen (the old film star, the director one is a bit young for...

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2020
I do rather love the place, it really does seem like a personality in its own right to me. Interestingly I know people who hate it for a lot of the same reasons that make me so fond of it. Perhaps it's because I chose to live here after a...

It's one of those things that we always knew was coming, I think, but we all chose to believe it wouldn't catch up with us. Next up: climate change ...
