Fangecdotes

A Curio Cabinet.

Small observations, objects, and moments from the edges of the work — shared occasionally, when they surface.

Elegant black and gold writing set with a vintage quill pen, ink bottle, wax seal stamp, calligraphy nibs, and ornate journal on a wood surface — symbolizing A. K. Folsom's imprint brand and classic publishing aesthetic.

A Birthday Surprise

A birthday surprise!

For my Halloween birthday, a dear friend and longtime beta reader gifted me this journal and calligraphy set. She has been part of the work from the beginning — reading early drafts, refining pitches, weighing in on design, and steadying the process through years of revision. She also helped shape the name Obsidian Quill Books, my independent publishing imprint. The set now sits on my desk as a reminder that stories are rarely made alone — and that belief, given early and freely, leaves its mark.
