Marvellous Migvie Kirk and Pictish Stone ailishsinclair.com/2026/07/marv... The present structure, now deconsecrated, dates from 1777, though there was an older medieval church there from at least the 12th century. #history #Scotland

The Battle of Auldearn and Dead Man's Wood ailishsinclair.com/2026/06/the-... I stayed in the friendly and relaxed 1645 Inn and had strange and disturbed dreams about the battle at night. Will this make the novel more strange and disturbed? Quite possibly. #writing #history #Scotland

Three years ago today, @ailishsinclair.bsky.social shared a post by @drdoylesays.bsky.social. My #TraumaRecovery has never been the same since. In addition to all of the books I read to learn, coping skills I use, therapy sessions I go to, etc., Dr. Doyle’s posts are a cornerstone to my recovery!

So proud of myself I’m holding back tears (which means I’ll probably cry soon). I made chicken soup from scratch for the first time today, with a chicken I roasted yesterday, and that was only my second roasted chicken! This soup is so delicious! #cooking #chickensoup

I've often said: I'd rather write an entire book, any day, than a 1000 word pitch for a book. The books that sound sexy & marketable as a pitch are just the kind I don't want to write. I'm not writing a book because I know what it's about, or how it ends. I'm writing it precisely to find that out.

The Dancer’s Journey trilogy by @ailishsinclair.bsky.social !!! 🥵 One of her readers once compared it to 9 1/2 Weeks meets Black Swan (Is that the right ballet movie, Ailish??) and it was spot on! Amalphia and Aleks are “slu*s for each other” in the spiciest way.

Almost certainly the best photo I will ever take from an Iron Age hillfort of the sun setting over an estuary as summer segues majestically into autumn. www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

The sun setting over the Severn Estuary as seen from the top of Uley Bury hill fort. I took this photo in September, 2021, on the most perfect windless evening, feeling euphoric having finished the edits on my debut novel, Villager. The whole walk felt like I'd temporarily stepped inside a Kit Williams painting, which was apt since for the last several decades he has lived not far from here, and the landscape was a prime inspiration for his masterpiece Masquerade. I still associate this scene with Villager, which, although it's inspired by a more rugged landscape a couple of hours south west of here, it has some very Villager elements. If you are new to my writing and would like to read an excerpt from the book (one of the sillier, easier-to-read parts of it) you'll find one in the link. I promise it's not shit.

"Even an unobservant onlooker would have been able to spot the palpable change in mood between the photo shoots for the first album and the second, as artistic differences began to reveal themselves, petty squabbles took their toll on songcraft and the creative factions began to tear asunder."
