The gloaming. Twilight. The sun is currently setting early here in Scotland. People are saying: “Aye, the nights are fairly drawing in…”
There’s been no frost yet, so brightness still exists within the gloom, or the gloaming.
How it feels when I stagger out into the forest after several hours of writing in front of a screen:
But, for now, this morning, I’m off back into the manuscript of the moment. I’m working on the first title in the next book series, Castle Dancers. It begins ten years after TENDU – each book has a different main character – and the story starts like this:
It’s the night before I’m due to start at the most prestigious dance school in Scotland, so, of course, my mother tries to kill me.
Fun times!
TENDU: Dancing in the Castle
Dance, danger and desire collide in TENDU, a seductive tale set in the mystical landscape of Scotland. Will love conquer all?

Great post, with amazing photos. You’re amazing, Ailish.
Aww, shucks, Tim 🙂 I’m glad you like the photos.
Thank you for the wonderful photographs and the writer’s journey.
I’m glad that you liked it.
That is one spectacular first line, Ailish!
It did come out quite high concept!
One hidden treasure in “Tendu” (this reader only half through) is that the beauty of setting and history is also part of its rich texture.
Thank you, Julie 🙂 Those that have read my other books will recognise aspects of the castle’s history there.
Those two photos are wonderful. I’d have trouble going head down if it was nice out! I’d want to be outside.
I sort of want to be in two places at once. But writing always wins…
