The Crimson Inkwell by Kenneth A. Baldwin
5.0
* I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review *
Miss Luella Winthrop seems to have a normal, if modest life. She takes care of her younger sister Anna and works (under a pen name) as writer for a newspaper owned by her fiancé. Although she lives a decent, respectable life, there is a part of her that longs for more. In fact, she secretly dreams of earning the Golden Inkwell, a prize awarded to the writer who puts out the most exciting stories. Against the advice of her fiancé, Luella starts traveling her small town looking for more stories. It is then when she meets a carnival worker named Bram, who promises her an unlimited supply of interesting stories... if she’s willing to believe in things out of the ordinary. As Luella gets more involved with Bram, she starts to believe in magic... but the magic might have some unintended consequences that aren’t exactly for the better.
