The first sprinkling of snow. And everything feels different. Light and colours are wintry now.
Early mornings are dark and lit by the moon.
Ice makes walking perilous. But the sun still shines. And the world feels sparkly and bright.
Snowy Memories
The weather is strongly reminding me of when I was first writing the Dancer’s Journey series. It was a particularly snowy winter. The road to our house was blocked for two weeks, and I just lost myself in the world of the books. The ancient castle… Danger in the dungeon… Angsty romance… And snow, lots and lots of snow. I can feel the atmosphere of it quite acutely now. And it’s good.
Scotland’s all misty lochs and magical forests and perfect boyfriends, right?
When dance student Amalphia Treadwell embarks on a secret relationship with her rich, handsome teacher, she has no idea of the danger that lurks in his new school in Scotland…

From Deanne here: “Very atmospheric, I could feel what the characters were feeling, feel their pain; it broke my heart and then healed it and made it sing.”
The Mermaid and the Bear
If you like castles, Scotland, history, witches, stone circles and Christmas done medieval-style, you might like THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR. There’s also a love story.

Beautiful. You make me miss Scotland.
It can be beautiful.
Incredible photos!
Thank you!
So pretty.
It was 🙂
lovely and wintry. That’s about all the snow we ever get here, but usually now we get none!
Aww 🙁
We got our first winter sprinkling this morning, too! (In Minnesota, USA)
Nice 🙂
Enjoy the snow and cooler temps from your friend from the Sunshine State 🙂
Thank you. You enjoy that sunshine 🙂
I had ten minutes of tiny flakes about two weeks ago in Halifax, Canada. It didn’t last on the ground for ten minutes, and there has been none since.
We often get flurries like that too.
Beautiful pictures, Ailish! We’re heading that way, but no snow yet.
Winter, here we come 🙂
It’s snowing today where I live. Not a fan. Snow is best enjoyed in the mountains and on postcard photos.
I do like it, but, yes, it is terribly cold.
beautiful photos, Ailish
Thank you 🙂
Wonderful all photos. Amazing Light and colours are wintry now. I like snow!
Me too 🙂
Good
