A stack of tip in sheets sitting on the brown paper wrapping they arrived in. The tip in sheets have a decorative border made of a pattern with hops, barely, mint leaves, and citrus leaves. The headline of the page says “This deluxe edition is published by” and below it there is the Imburleigh Book Company logo, which is the letters I B and C nestled in each other with an ornamental border around the letters. The paper has been embossed in the bottom right corner with the same IBC logo.

HALFWAY THERE! In other words, I’ve officially embossed all these tip ins! Woohoo! Now I just have to sign them 🥲

Beside the stack, there’s a brown leather case filled with fountain pens. Left to right the pens are: black wood made by a local artist, a white Ferris Wheel Press brush pen, an orange Ferris Wheel Press brush pen, a purple Ferris Wheel Press brush pen, a silver Lamy, a blue and red Nahvalur, a blue Lamy, a TWISBI demonstrator, a silver Diplomat Aero and a black Diplomat Aero.

Who’s got two thumbs and FIVE HUNDRED tip ins to sign?! ME BABYYYYYY!

It’s time to pick a pen and then dive into the signatures. Wish me luck!

Devouring Fortune book cover. Features a woman with folded arms on the cover. Her arms are crossed. She has straight black hair and her skin is light brown. She has a haunted expression. She is dressed in a white priestess outfit with wrapped bandages up her arms. Behind her lurks a monstrous skeleton whispering in her ear. They are surrounded by red flowers.

I'm happy to say today is the day for the book cover reveal of DEVOURING FORTUNE! @jeleynai.bsky.social did an incredible job on the illustration, I'm in awe.

For fans of Tanith Lee and A.K. Larkwood, about bargains gone wrong.

Lifting up a criminally underrated author today. @matthewzorich.bsky.social took his journalism background and love for fantasy and turned it into a badass series about disparity and discrimination in a familiar environment. The American Revolution meets fantasy. The Conspiracy of Crows
