New Pen Day! Cult Pens exclusive 20th Birthday BENU, reward for finishing final draft of a book
The Cult Pens exclusive 20th Birthday BENU Minima was released in May 2025, and I finally got it in January 2026 as part of their annual winter sale (and following a huge price drop). I saved it as a reward for myself for finally finishing the last two drafts of A Dream Deferred: Lyuba and Ivan at University, the four-volume fourth book in the family saga with my Russian characters which will be released 6 August 2026. I previously got myself the Cult Pens exclusive 19th Birthday BENU Minima for finishing the first draft, and the Goulet exclusive Matcha Latte BENU Euphoria for finishing the second and third drafts. I've put so much work into this book of a million and a half words since I began writing on 1 November 2015! #newpenday #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenaddict #penlover #penlovers #fountainpencommunity Where to find my book and author pages: https://carrieannebrownian.wordpress....
