The Franklin Key: A Threads of Time Novel

Leah Goodwell wakes up the day after her grandmother’s funeral to find that she is the latest in nine generations of time travelers, who work with the help of a key, a book, and Benjamin Franklin, who still exists in his print shop where it is always 1752.

Leah doesn’t believe in time travel until she finds a key in her grandmother’s attic and accidentally jumps to Franklin’s shop. There she learns that Franklin and his close friend, Peter Collinson, created a secret institution to study time travel. It’s called the Academy for Fluid Time.

Soon the present-day Director of the Academy for Fluid Time knocks on Leah’s door and explains how Leah’s help is needed to avert a terrorist attack on the Eastern Power Grid. Leah’s ensuing adventures take her to Istanbul and the fabled Topkapi Palace, and into the company of AFT operative Stuart Penryn.
