The Luella Winthrop Trilogy

Magic exists where we cannot see. It lives in unexplained phenomena, in attraction to strangers, in a pen and crimson inkwell, from a trunk, in a tent, at a fair, in the fog...The Crimson Inkwell is a story about journalist Luella Winthrop. In her journey to become Dawnhurst-on-Severn's most acclaimed writer, she discovers that her city houses dark, magical secrets too uncomfortable to believe.

Magical illnesses require magical cures, and time is running out. It's been months since I left my hometown. I'd never traveled outside its wall before. It seems like only yesterday that my biggest concern was writing my next hit article. Now, I'm running from the police and desperately searching for the only man who may know how to cure me of a magical ailment. I'm not alone, but I can feel the patience and energy of the man by my side diminish day by day. It's hard to persuade him that I'm spending all my time looking for another man so I can be whole for him.
