Scribbler Tales Presents: Escape from Berlin by Mary Ann Bernal – A Cinematic Descent into Espionage and Reckoning


East Berlin trembles. A man on the run clings to love as borders close and betrayal tightens its grip.

 Watch the Trailer

 Five stories. One pulse-pounding journey through danger, deception, and survival.


 Behind the Wall: Where Loyalty Fractures and Shadows Rise.

Before the escape, there was love. Before the reckoning, trust. Escape from Berlin leads this haunting collection with Mark Dresdner’s desperate flight from East Germany, a man torn between duty and devotion, hunted by enemies and haunted by the woman he refuses to leave behind.

 But the danger doesn’t end at the border.

From twisted rituals and shattered marriages to deadly secrets and vigilante justice, Scribbler Tales Presents: Escape from Berlin plunges readers into five intense narratives where survival demands sacrifice and truth is a dangerous weapon.

 This quiet moment, where the past collides with the present, captures the soul of Scribbler Tales. It’s a journey through betrayal, fallout, and the fragile hope that something better lies beyond the storm.

A Note from the Author

I wrote Escape from Berlin to explore the human cost of loyalty and the choices we make when everything is at stake. Each story in this collection reveals a different kind of escape, whether from tyranny, betrayal, or fate itself. This trailer invites you to step into those moments and ask: what would you risk to be free?

 About the Book

 A perilous escape. A shattered trust. A reckoning in the shadows.

Mark Dresdner’s cover is blown. The border is blocked. The woman he loves is in danger. Escape from Berlin opens this suspenseful anthology with Cold War tension and emotional grit.

But the danger doesn’t stop there.

 In Betrayal, Aelia’s devotion is tested when her husband’s secrets threaten everything.

 Deadly Secrets follows Lysandra into a new life, only for her past to resurface with deadly consequences.

 Murder in the First delivers vigilante justice with a twist, as Bethel’s plan spirals into chaos.

 The Ritual traps Devona in a pagan rite that demands blood, and escape may come too late.

 Scribbler Tales Presents: Escape from Berlin is a gripping anthology for fans of espionage thrillers, psychological suspense, and stories where survival is never guaranteed.

Whispers echo through haunted corridors. A cloning experiment spirals into chaos. A reckoning unfolds across five volumes of twisted fate.

 Watch the Trailer

 Step into the shadows, where truth is buried and survival demands sacrifice.

From spectral visitations and covert operations to cursed bloodlines and moral reckoning, these stories unravel the fragile line between justice and obsession.

 This quiet moment, where the ordinary fractures and the extraordinary takes hold, captures the soul of Scribbler Tales Volumes One-Five. It’s a journey through fear, fury, and the human need to confront what lurks beneath.

A Note from the Author

I wrote Scribbler Tales Volumes One-Five to explore the shadows we often ignore, the secrets we bury, the truths we fear, and the choices that define us. Each story is a mirror, reflecting the darkness we carry and the light we fight to preserve. This trailer invites you to step into that mirror and see what stares back.

 About the Book

 A forbidden truth. A haunting past. A reckoning unfolds.

 Across five volumes, Scribbler Tales delivers genre-bending suspense, from cloning experiments gone wrong to ancestral curses that refuse to die. Vigilante justice, spectral hauntings, covert betrayals, and psychological unraveling collide in a collection that dares you to look deeper.

Each tale stands alone, yet together they form a mosaic of mystery, morality, and the human cost of silence.

They thought they knew the truth. They were wrong.

 Scribbler Tales: Volumes One–Five is a chilling anthology for fans of psychological thrillers, paranormal suspense, and moral dilemmas that linger long after the final page.

 Ready to Read?

 Step beyond the ordinary. Dare to uncover the truth.

Reader Views Book Review: “AnaRose and Medusa’s Curse” by Mary Ann Bernal

 

AnaRose and Medusa’s Curse

Mary Ann Bernal
Independently Published (2025)
ISBN: 979-8343871173
Reviewed by Rachel Dehning for Reader Views (05/2025)

AnaRose and Medusa’s Curse by Mary Ann Bernal is the third installment in the thrilling and action-packed series AnaRose Action and Adventure Novellas featuring Dr. AnaRose Preston, a museum curator of antiquities.  AnaRose and her assistant Jo tackle historical and under-the-radar mysteries that threaten to endanger society and challenge established views of historical and mythical events.

In Medusa’s Curse, AnaRose reunites with an unexpected ally as they try to rectify the mistake of selling a Medusa artifact to a wealthy gentleman. This gentleman may or may not possess the signs of being a calculated madman intent on taking over the world by harnessing the powers of the Greek mythological figure, Medusa, whose eyes were literally to die for.

AnaRose and her companions take on the wealthy man in a worldwide treasure hunt, racing the clock to locate the missing artifacts and key pieces before time runs out, and there might likely be more decorative stone statues than the overall population. AnaRose relies on her street smarts and intelligence to navigate barriers and figure out ways to work through them.  Still, she will need additional support from her colleagues near, far, and in unexpected locations to outsmart this man, possessing resources and skills that rival or even surpass their own.

Being the third installment in a series, the story can stand alone since the main elements focus primarily on the adventure; however, to gain the greatest understanding of the plot with the foreknowledge of AnaRose and the characters’ backgrounds, readers should consult the previous titles beforehand. Similar to earlier adventures in the series, Medusa’s Curse is a bite-sized adventure that is a sure pick-me-up for any day and an easy reread in the future. The writing is exceptional and causes the pages to fly, making it hard to stop – the adventure begins immediately and takes the reader through to the last page.

This story complements other popular treasure-hunting media, with films such as National Treasure and The Da Vinci Code and books such as The Inheritance Games, Book Scavenger, Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, and 39 Clues. Mary Ann Bernal’s AnaRose and Medusa’s Curse is a clean read, without compromising action, adventure, and enjoyment. This story, along with the series, is a great option and one example of a strong female-empowered hero who uses her wits, smarts, and resources to (literally) save the world without having to rely on her looks. The possibilities are endless for Dr. AnaRose Preston!

Unveiling Secrets with Dr. Adam Rowe: An Exclusive Character Interview

 In this special interview, we delve into the world of Dr. Adam Rowe, a key character from the award-winning novella “AnaRose and Pharaoh’s Gold.” Dr. Rowe shares his thrilling experiences and insights about ancient relics and high-stakes missions.


Interviewer: Dr. Rowe, thank you for joining us today. Can you tell us a little about your background and how you became involved in anthropology?

Dr. Adam Rowe: It’s a pleasure to be here. My fascination with anthropology began during my undergraduate studies. I was captivated by the intricate tapestry of human history and cultures. After completing my Ph.D., I joined the American University in Cairo, where I’ve been fortunate to study and teach about the ancient civilizations of Egypt.

Interviewer: As “The Professor” on the Dark Web, you must have access to a wealth of secret knowledge. How did you come to adopt this persona?

Dr. Adam Rowe: The Dark Web is a double-edged sword. While it harbors many dangers, it also offers an unparalleled repository of unfiltered information. I adopted the persona of “The Professor” to access and share rare, forbidden knowledge with fellow scholars. It’s a risky endeavor, but the pursuit of truth often is.

Interviewer: The plot of “AnaRose and Pharaoh’s Gold” revolves around a stolen Egyptian artifact. What role do you play in AnaRose Preston’s quest?

Dr. Adam Rowe: As an ancient Egyptian relics and cults expert, I provide AnaRose with crucial information about the artifact and the Cult of Apophis. My insights and connections help her navigate the perilous path to recover the stolen relic and thwart the cult’s nefarious plans.

Interviewer: The Cult of Apophis sounds incredibly dangerous. What can you tell us about them and their history?

Dr. Adam Rowe: The Cult of Apophis is an ancient and fanatical sect dedicated to the serpent god Apophis, the embodiment of chaos and destruction. They believe the artifact AnaRose is chasing houses the deity’s soul. If they succeed in releasing it, they think they can usher in an era of darkness and chaos. Their ruthlessness knows no bounds.

Interviewer: Your work must often place you in precarious situations. How do you balance your academic responsibilities with such high-stakes adventures?

Dr. Adam Rowe: Balancing academic responsibilities with fieldwork is a challenge. I rely heavily on meticulous planning and a strong support network. My university colleagues and students understand the importance of my work and provide invaluable assistance, allowing me to dedicate time to both teaching and hands-on research.

Interviewer: Given your unique perspective on ancient artifacts, what do you believe is the greatest misconception about them?

Dr. Adam Rowe: One of the greatest misconceptions is that ancient artifacts are merely relics of the past with no relevance to the present. In reality, they hold immense cultural, historical, and even supernatural significance. They are keys to understanding human history and can have profound impacts on contemporary society.

Interviewer: What motivates you to continue your research and take on such dangerous missions?

Dr. Adam Rowe: My motivation stems from a deep-seated passion for uncovering the truths of our past and preserving humanity’s cultural heritage. The stakes are high, and the risks are great, but the intellectual and societal rewards are worth every challenge. Protecting our history and ensuring it is not misused drives me forward.

Interviewer: Dr. Rowe, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today. Before we wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers about your work or any upcoming projects?

Dr. Adam Rowe: It’s been a pleasure speaking with you. I must say, working with Dr. AnaRose Preston has been an exhilarating experience. Her tenacity and intelligence make every adventure feel like an Indiana Jones movie. I’m looking forward to many more action-packed, high-stakes missions alongside her. Thank you for having me.

AnaRose and Medusa's Curse by Mary Ann Bernal - Readers' Favorite 5-star Review



Reviewed by Carol Thompson for Readers' Favorite

AnaRose and Medusa’s Curse by Mary Ann Bernal is an adventure novel that combines mystery, history, and mythology woven into a thrilling narrative. The story follows the protagonist, AnaRose, a dedicated curator at a museum, who embarks on a daring journey that pushes her to the limits of her courage and wit. The book opens with AnaRose racing against time and weather to make it to her museum, setting the stage for a narrative filled with vivid descriptions and fast-paced action. As she reflects on her ambitious project to merge a planetarium with the museum, her passion for astronomy and history shines through, making her character both relatable and inspirational.

Mary Ann Bernal skillfully introduces various characters and settings, from the bustling streets of Cairo to the tranquil beauty of a newly constructed planetarium. Her detailed descriptions bring each scene to life, from the chaotic energy of a city in the rain to the serene calm of a museum at dawn. The plot thickens with the introduction of a historical puzzle involving none other than Medusa’s Curse. AnaRose’s quest to uncover the truth behind the legend takes her on a journey through ancient sites, where she encounters allies and adversaries. Her determination and intellect shine as she navigates complex challenges and unravels centuries-old secrets. The seamless integration of historical artifacts and mythological tales with a modern-day adventure makes it particularly compelling. Bernal’s research is evident in the details and historical context she provides, making the story educational and entertaining. AnaRose and Medusa's Curse is a captivating read that offers a perfect blend of adventure, suspense, and historical intrigue. This novel will appeal to readers who enjoy strong female protagonists, well-crafted historical settings, and stories that blend the past with the present in a quest for truth. I highly recommend it.

New Release: AnaRose and Medusa’s Curse by Mary Ann Bernal - Live the Adventure of a Lifetime!

 



In the heart of Athens, an ancient curse is about to be unleashed…

Museum curator AnaRose Preston is in the midst of unveiling the newly renovated annex and its crown jewel—a state-of-the-art planetarium. But her routine is shattered by an urgent message from relic hunter Miles Bordel. Bordel, infamous for his ruthless methods, has unearthed Alexander the Great’s drinking cup, triggering a chain of events that could awaken an ancient curse.
