I’m writing it in Ireland, in a house on a hillside. The house sits low in the landscape between a holy well and the site of an Iron Age dwelling. It was built of stones ploughed out of the fields by men who knew how to raise them with their hands and to lock one stone to the next so each was firm. It’s a lone house on the foothills of the last mountain on the Dingle peninsula, the westernmost point in mainland Europe. At night the sky curves above it like a dark bowl, studded with stars.…From the moment I crossed the mountain, I fell in love with the place, which was more beautiful than any I’d ever seen. And with a way of looking at life that was deeper, richer, and wiser than any I’d known before.","author":"Felicity Hayes-McCoy","tags":["balance","ireland","memoir","stillness"],"id":38172,"author_id":"Felicity+Hayes-McCoy"},{"text":"After a taste of a Scot, you'll never look elsewhere again.'A brunette smiled seductively, 'That's quite a boast.'I'm quite a man.","author":"Donna Grant","tags":["dragon shifters","dragons","fae","ireland","irish","paranormal-romance","scotland","scotland-romance"],"id":46822,"author_id":"Donna+Grant"},{"text":"By God, Lainna, have you truly no notion how badly I want you, then?'Oh, but did you not once tell me the anticipation is half the pleasure of it?","author":"Leigh Ann Edwards","tags":["fairies","fantasy","ireland","romance","witch"],"id":54578,"author_id":"Leigh+Ann+Edwards"},{"text":"Go back to bed, Cowan.
