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.)

How lovely! Spencer is obviously a very smart seagull.

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 ...

Thak you! Most of my stuff
Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2020
Thak you! Most of my stuff is sitting on someone's desk mopping up coffee stains, I think. And perhaps the world is suffering enough at the moment.

And so glad to know I'm not the only one! I watched a bit of that very same Poirot, and then had a conversation with the cushions about Suchet vs Ustinov vs Finney vs the upstart John Malkovich.
Funny and delightful - except for the...

Funny and damn scary. This too may well come to pass.

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2020
I love the idea of this conversation. I think I would be apprehensive of what any creature would have to say to me about our stewardship of the planet. You describe the bee fly so cleverly as well. I don't think I've ever seen one, but then, I...

I hope we will all learn from this, as you say, and go on to work together to build a better world. Also hope that you and yours are, and continue to be, well.
