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.)

The joy comes over very strongly, Richard. The simplest of things often provide the strongest of memories, and you have captured that well here.

Thank you! That's something very special, in this week. I'm not usually prone to the optimistic or uplifting, but remembering Well-Wisher's lovely, magical stories and poems made me determined to try and emulate some of his gentleness and...

Hello! Welcome To ABC Tales.
Lots of good stuff in this first chapter. Some of your descriptions are excellent - I got a real feeling of the snow and the power of the elements, and the stained glass with its mixture of hellish fire and...

This is great. A convincing fairytale set in an equally convincing real world. And for old Whovians like me,utterly irresistible.
