Trusted critic
airyfairy's picture

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.)

Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Thoroughly enjoyed this.  Great fun.   Quite a fan of superhero movies because I can completely relax in them, rest my brain, have a good laugh, and forget about them as soon as I'm out of the cinema.  I would go and see this one.  Kidderminster...

Posted on Mon, 08 Apr 2019

This struck a real chord with me, having last year moved on from our old family home, the kids having done likewise some time ago.  I kept telling myself how daft it was to love bricks and mortar so much, especially when not all the memories were...

Probably not, to be honest, but I'm glad this story had a happy ending!

Congratulations - wonderfully

Posted on Tue, 29 Jan 2019

Congratulations - wonderfully written.  The description of Brooksy as a breakable glass animal is beautiful and effective and a sad precursor.  You've caught so well that thing that happens, when music at the time doesn't do a lot for you, and...

Posted on Tue, 29 Jan 2019

I'm absolutely melting with these two.  I just want to build a wall round them and keep the world away.  Possibly my favourite line is 'he ginned as if he'd given birth to her' - tells you so much about him, and what he wants, and his feelings...
