They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but what if the pen is the sword?Miles Campbell, a failed fulltime English professor, teaches online writing courses for several different colleges a semester for little pay. Preparing his office once again for a new semester, he discovers an old manuscript story he started long ago. Finding in a desk drawer a vintage fountain pen bequeathed to him by his father, he fills it and begins to finish the story. Little does he know the dark power unleashed by that cursed pen, putting the lives of those he loves in danger even as he writes a bestseller. But did he write the novel himself? Or did the pen write it through him? At what point does fiction become fact, or fact fiction? What price will his beloved pen exact from him and his family for fame and wealth?
