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.)

Hooray! Thank you for this, Luigi! Delighted to have an ending to the story, and one that saw justice done.

I like the way it shifts with those last two lines. We're used to seeing this story presented as pure submissive devotion - good to see a different, beautifully realised take.

Posted on Tue, 03 Sep 2019
I've just been to a new van Gogh exhibition - what they call an 'immersive experience', with a sort of son et lumiere to start with and then a virtual reality trip through some of the paintings. Your poem reminds me of his starry night skies. ...

Absolutely love it. I'm sure Adam and Eve would think we'd all gone bonkers. Very nice piece of work.

I really love the way your accounts of your travels mix the everyday and the wondrous - all the practical things, like the toilets and the gippy tummies, and the strange and new things, like the amazing tombs and the dilemma of the children. It...

A lovely poem and so beautifully read. I felt as though you were in the room with me, and we were having a chat. Great stuff.

How much simpler it would be

How much simpler it would be if people just smiled when they were happy, instead of for other reasons too! 'Happy' is quite a complicated emotion, of course, and means different things to each individual, but it's a nice thought.

Lovely image of friends enjoying food and drink together. I'm not sure I shall ever look at Lucozade in the same way again!
I hope this comment stays put - I know you've been affected by the mysterious loss of comments on the site, so...
