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.)

Agree with Jenny - it does have a pre-Raphaelite feel to it. Lovely take on the IP, really enjoyed reading it.

As we take over more of the countryside, more and more animals are forced to scavenge in towns. Foxes can be very successful, but it's far from an ideal environment for them. A thoughtful and sympathetic poem.
I love the way this IP...

Sometimes, if we knew the end, we'd never start - but then we'd miss all the good bits in between. A very poignant response to the IP.

Such a tender story, with a touch of magic in the quiet realism. Really enjoyed reading this.

You caught the feeling of being overwhelmed when a parent dies - that first line really captures it. I agree with insert, there is a lot more to this story! I find it interesting that sometimes, when people know that they are dying, they leave...

Anniversaries and things like Mother's Day are always hard. I'm sure your mother would be proud to know you are keeping her memory alive.

Posted on Mon, 13 May 2019
The time is indeed running out, and still the vested interests are insisting that we need more proof and evidence, more 'studies' to see what is happening. The recent report on the loss of biodiversity was horrific. And it is the 'small' things...

I've just caught up with these, Luigi - what a brilliant idea, and your take on it is fascinating. I love the way you build up the story, releaasing carefully judged bits of information with each instalment. A very enjoyable read.

Thank you so much for the Pick. Cat and Little Cat want to know if Golden Cherries are edible. They are both happy to give it a go, in the public interest.

Thank you Luigi. Perhaps we should try letting the cats run the country and put all the politicians on medication...
