Stay tuned for upcoming information about my newest novel, THE HIGHLAND TOUR.
Synopsis:
The Highland Tour is a thrilling murder mystery set within the picturesque Highlands of Scotland. With multiple perspectives and stories weaving together-from hotel staff to the guests-it becomes clear that everyone has secrets to hide. The Highland Tour is a suspenseful and gripping novel, exploring the complicated lives and hidden motives of a group of strangers trapped together as they face the terror of a murderer in their midst. With twists and turns around every corner, the story keeps readers guessing until the very end.
For all you historical fiction lovers, check out my second novel “ The Victorian Vigilante”. Purchase a copy here: a.co/d/b2be75S
SYNOPSIS:
LONDON, 1884.
Una Egerton is a woman adrift in a world dominated by man’s corruption and crisis. Riddled with a dark side herself, when night falls Una cloaks her feminine appearance and becomes the fighter known in the London Underground as the Silver-Haired Devil. But just as Una finally has a grip on her abnormal condition, the body of a woman is found floating in the Thames River in an oddly familiar way to that which claimed the life of her mother a decade ago. This murder sets off a series of events that fall one after another. Her alter ego is rapidly labeled a person of interest and the mysterious death toll continues to climb. A secret society hidden in the shadows begins to emerge having her question everything she thought she held dear.

If you wish to use fountain pens on your travels in the future look into a brand called Opus 88. They are japanese eyedropper style pens that have a shutoff stopper so ink from the main chamber cannot burp out when it is closed. Also they have a huge ink capacity so no extra ink supplies are needed when away from home.
This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much 😊
Hi Dear friend, so happy to see this video of yours, it was so interesting to see your set up and I always love to hear you talk about stationery. My set up is a bit different, I put only one notebook per cover, or two notebooks but never more (because they get so thick and chunky!). I loved how you set up your TN and it is so amazing to see how much you write! That made me so happy. I use Gel Pen from Rico Design for everyday journaling and I also love the Faber Castle pens, if you haven't tried them, give them a try! They have different nibs sizes and I just love how they make my handwriting look so polished and beautiful.
The pens you use look amazing, I was blown away by the change in your writing from pen to pen. The uni pen made your handwriting looks so so so beautiful, like a beautiful classic font. Enjoyed this video so much! Enjoy your time in Ireland this summer!
You’re incredibly kind. Thank you for your well wishes and helpful insight. I have never heard of Rico Design or Faber Castle pens. I will have to try them out. And you’re absolutely right. Three notebooks in TN can make it very chunky, but I’ve found success somehow. I am still looking forward to your new videos when you get there again! Hope to speak again soon.
@@alexanderwrites_ Oh that is so sweet of you! I learnt about Faber Castell when I started drawing and quickly started using them for writing as well. Rico Design company is not a specific company for pens but their black gel pen is the perfect DUPE for those who can't order Muji pens (they're basically the same). I miss Traveler's Notebooks so much, hope to go back to writing in my journal real soon. Same with TH-cam. If I come back to making videos, it will be because of the encouragement of amazing friends like you! Hopefully soon. P.S. I wrote you a letter! will send it really soon, I believe next week!
The Sharpie Roller 05 is excellent. Long lasting ink, smooth rolling feel and extra fine line. Give it a try.
I'm a fan of Lochby products. I'm intrigued regarding what's next from them!
Yeah, it will be interesting where the brand goes! Personally, a bag or backpack would be super cool.
I fly every week for work and always have a few fountain pens with me. I rarely every have trouble with ink leaking. The benefit of a fountain pen outweighs other negatives in my opinion.
As one post stated, make sure that your converter is full with no air bubble behind the ink. Also, it helps to orient the pens in your bag so that the nib is up. Overhead bins might not allow this orientation, but you can easily control it by stowing it at your feet.
they don't confiscate the fountain pen for having that kind of tip??? I feel like I wouldn't want to bring them carryon at the risk they'd confiscate it
awesome set up!
Thanks!
What is the protrusion on the top left corner of the notebook when it is closed? Does in prevent the notebook from laying flat when open?
Are you referring to the green notebook? That is a pen clip and it is removable. If you’re referring to the Traveler’s Notebook, that is the zipper from the plastic pouch insert.
The round doohickey on the outside of the cover holds the ends of the elastic and the bookmark string. It lies down out of the way if you have the notebook open on a table.
Came for the traveler’s notebook setup, left with Bible study podcast recs! Great video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
For the clamp, there was a company offering something called the 'book anchor' or something like that and they were psychos enough to make you pay over 50 dollars for it.
It's literally just a music book clip and those are infinitely cheaper and do the same job as the anchor while also being lower profile for ease of storage.
That’s crazy! Glad I found a cheaper option. The Traveler’s Company one was 25 bucks and that’s too much for me. I’d just a binder clip instead.
@@alexanderwrites_ It was the "Page Anchor" - I paid about $25 for them and they are perfect in journals and holding books open when reading.
Best way to travel with a fountain pen is either with no ink at all, or with a totally full converter, with no air in it. Its the air that expands in flight, not the ink.
I travel all over the world with a fountain pen
You just need a vacuum or piston fill type
However, I have also never had a problem with any TWSBI on a plane
Thanks for the information! I will look into this further. I have a TWSBI Go that is great, but I have never explored their other products.
Great setup. Much neater than mine. Mine’s a mess. Great video!
Thank you! 😊
I love travelers and plotter
Glad I discovered your channel, great content. I too use TN to keep a reading log and notes. I’m curious…which Matt Haig books have you read, and/or recommend?
Great to pop up on your feed!! Oh goodness. I love the Midnight Library it is a fantastic, fantastic book. I have also read How to Stop Time and the Humans which are both wonderful books. I think everything he writes is amazing. Excited for his newest book to release in September. If you read them, let me know how you feel about them!
If you want to travel with a fountain pen, you just need to keep it store upright with the nib facing upwards.
And this will prevent any leakage of ink? Including the pressure of airplane cabins?
@@alexanderwrites_ Yes, it definitely does. Just store your fountain pens upright and they'll be fine. No piston-type needed, though I have to admit, they are a bit more convenient when flying since you don't have to care.
The green Galen leather has great patina now
