The Book of Turns
by Edita A. Petrick
Part 7 of the Peacetaker series
An ancient artifact comes out of its hiding to wreck the global balance.
A series of phenomenal events, some good, others holding potential for global catastrophe, sets-up a race against time.
For two-years now, reports have been hitting media of increasingly strange events. Rivers altered courses. Campsites shifted locations. Limbs lost in war re-attached themselves to war veterans' bodies. Tabloids thrive on such headlines. The problem is, that the headlines aren't coming from the tabloids. They're from the regular press. Even conservative papers run such headlines on a daily basis. The religious leaders take the opportunity to declare that the world is just correcting its injustices. Most global security agencies who bravely investigated such improbable phenomena, ultimately dismissed them as hoax. Ancient manuscripts don't re-write themselves. Famous historical documents are, after all, a part of everyone's history. Some security agencies, however, were brave enough to label their investigation 'inconclusive.'
For the most part, such fantasy stimulates an average citizen's imagination. People try to come up on a daily basis with a bigger and better miracle scenario and which paper would report it. Then a visitor in the National Archives Museum wonders out-loud what would happen if tomorrow's headline read: Declaration of Independence-re-written, and suddenly everyone sits-up, wide-eyed and awake.
Mere hours later, the FBI Special Agent, Vernon Saunders is en route to Europe, tracking down vacationing Carter and Stella. Their long-planned holiday is going to be cut short-no arguments. Because suddenly it is very clear to those who run the country just what's at stake, and that the fantasy game everyone indulged for two years, can turn deadly at any moment.

by Edita A. Petrick
Part of the Peacetaker series
Ribbons of Death - Book 1
A career soldier who survived a deadly riot in Cairo, and a reclusive mythology expert from Montana, race against time to find the product of ancient myths and legends that's cutting a bloody path across the continent.
***
One snowy evening, a stranger with a horribly scarred face stomps on the porch of Stella Hunter's house, holding her latest book of myths and legends. He points to the bloody fingerprints of the book's now deceased owner, marking a passage of the Peacetaker myth. When she asks how he came by the book, he tells her he took the controversial book from the lifeless hand of a traffic fatality in Cairo. And suddenly, Stella could swear that somewhere a clock started ticking down to doomsday. After all, the fate of humanity depends on whether she was right or wrong when she wrote her infamous book.
The Harmony Scroll - Book 2
Stella Hunter is on a quest to locate a scroll that may hold the power to break eight-year-old Gabriel's curse. Her search will take her across the globe. The clock is ticking in a countdown to the end of the world and no one has the slightest notion where the scroll might be. It's nonstop action, an edgy and dark story full of mystery and adventure, and totally impossible to set down once you've started reading.
The Byzantine Connection - Book 3
Stella Hunter is an obsessive reader of all myths and legends. She and her long-time partner, Carter, go to visit their old friend and priest at his church. There the journey begins when Carter sees an old Oriental couple pray, then leave the worship decades younger than when they walked in minutes before. Their story surrounds a bizarre and poorly chiseled granite statue delivered to the church. But is it just an ugly statue? They all too soon discover it is an emissary out of folklore legend, tempting and granting wishes, with an unfortunate trade-off for its victims.
