Summary – Romantic Archive Thriller

At the end of August 2018, the eccentric and flamboyant Professor Von Falckensteyn was giving one of his erudite lectures at Eise Eisinga University in Franeker when he was interrupted by a stranger from Bulgaria. He had to rush to Bulgaria because his expertise was required. The professor had built an international reputation for his ability to track down untraceable documents in archives. The assignment related to the murder of writer Georgi Markov in London in 1978. Markov was murdered with a poisoned umbrella, and the unsolved case has since been called the Bulgarian Umbrella Murder. Bulgarian Prime Minister Angelov, after forty years, wanted to finally solve the long-standing case and enlisted the professor’s help. Together with Maja Altova of the Bulgarian State Archives, Von Falckensteyn enthusiastically delved into the case and found himself in an international hotbed. A thrilling and intriguing crime novel.

A Fantasy Like No Other – Paganini, Gnomes, and a Professor with a Gift

Summary – Romantic Archive Thriller

What if an archivist could recover not just lost documents—but lost worlds?

Archive Professor Petrov is no ordinary scholar. With a supernatural ability to retrieve vanished texts, he’s the only hope when the legendary Great Gnomes Book is stolen—plunging Gnomes Country into chaos.

But as Petrov embarks on this mission, he quickly learns that nothing is as it seems. King Killing XIII may not be the ally he claims to be. His cunning mistress, Develish Darkness, has an agenda of her own. And the deeper Petrov digs, the more he realizes that the book’s theft is just the beginning of something far more sinister.

Rooted in my expertise as a professional archivist, infused with my love for Bulgaria, and set to the hauntingly brilliant tones of Paganini’s 6th Violin Concerto, The Gnome’s Great Secret is a fresh, genre-bending fantasy—the first in an exciting new series.

Summary – Treasure lost

While she teaches her students how to use AI in archiving, Bulgarian archive professor Irina Petrova can’t stop thinking about the past night with her latest lover Georgi Rastov.

But her lecture is interrupted by a call from the Brazilian embassy. An old document dated around 1652 has surfaced. It tells of a Portuguese treasure ship that allegedly sank, losing its valuable cargo on the Atlantic coast near what is now Rio de Janeiro.

Irina Petrova is flown in to determine whether the document is genuine and whether the treasure is real or just a myth. The government wants to keep the discovery secret, but rumours spread fast, and modern-day pirates start a treasure hunt.

She is caught between the professional duty in Brazil for the old document and the irresistible chemistry she shares with both Georgi Rastov, her Bulgarian lover, and Roberto Silveira, her Brazilian guide and interpreter.

Who will win?

Or will the love battle make Irina Petrova’s professional search impossible?
