Jeannine Pettersson from Bedfordshire writing under the Pen Name E A Carter has been shortlisted in the Page Turner Awards eBook Award for her historical fiction fantasy novel, The Call of Eternity.
Jeannine, a citizen of three countries, entered the Page Turner Awards, where published authors and unpublished writers of fiction and non-fiction across all genres can enter their writing to get discovered by high-profile judges from the literary world.
The Call of Eternity is about powerful men who collide in a breathtaking epic of star-crossed love.
Jeannine grew up in the Canadian countryside, the daughter of a reverend of modest means, with only her bicycle, her cat, and her imagination to occupy her. Ever since she could talk, she has been crafting stories. She writes of the complexities of love and mortality against evocative backdrops and seeks to test the perceived limits of love, death, and time.
The premise for the book came to her during a stay in Luxor, Egypt when she dreamed of an empire-crossing, forbidden love affair which transpired during the New Kingdom period. As she woke to the sun rising over the Nile and three thousand years slammed back into her senses, she heard these words: Tell the story. Do not let it die.
It took five years of research across four countries to put together all the missing pieces of the puzzle. When she discovered the man, who she had dreamed of was a real historical person with his position in Ramesses's court, she sensed she had embarked on the story of a lifetime.
Jeannine said, “My books have been in many competitions but the Page Turner Awards has impressed me the most for its professionalism, communication, dedication to supporting talented writers and opening doors to new and exciting talent. A stunning list of literary judges and literary prizes makes the Page Turner Awards the Rolls Royce of contests for authors. I am absolutely thrilled my book is shortlisted. My recommendation to writers: If you do anything in 2021, I highly recommend entering your book into the Awards. You never know, it could change your life!”
