#15 the Seven Caves of Chicomoztoc Branton K Holmberg

Publisher Marketing: As usual Sam was workin on uncoverin another treasure fer us 't discover. This time we was goin deep inta the heart of Mexico 't look fer the seven caves of Chicomoztoc. They was the origin caves of five indigenous tribes down there 'n it would mean the world 't 'em if we could find 'em. Now as ya can see right quick that only accounts fer five of 'em. That leaves two more. Wal now, them other two was supposed 't be loaded with some of the purest veins of gold on earth 'n if we could find 'em it was gonna help the five villages we was workin with attract their young'uns back. They'd been leavin till there was only the real young 'n mostly old folks left. The lure of modern civilization was too strong fer 'em. Where we was gonna be explorin was as primitive as ya can get. It was infested with Mexican banditos that was as mean as a stepped on rattler. We had 'em breathin down our necks 'n we knew they'd do us in 'n take everthin we had if they ever got the chance. Yer gonna be surprised at how clever them ancients was bout concealin the clues 't where them caves was. Sam was up a stump tryin 't figure 'em out. Hope ya got yer workin duds on cause there's a passel of work this time round. Thanks fer joinin up again. These treasure hunts are so much better when yer along. Gramps Contributor Bio:  Holmberg, Branton K I'm a grandfather, and great grandfather, and count those among the greatest achievements of my life. Of course no grandfather, grand or great, can accomplish such an honored status without the grandmother, both grand and great, and children who help create such blessings. I'm truly grateful. I spent many years as a university administrator and classroom professor, and also became an entrepreneur. I'm very long in the tooth and retired many years ago. I've always pushed myself to risk taking the next step in challenges I find daunting. Over the years I've found I've written thousands of pages related to my career choices and know the challenges of professional writing. Some months ago I started writing adventure stories to my young grandson. They were simply a means for me to share my love of adventure stories with him. I had not intended to put them before the public eye but my loved ones, including my grandson, encouraged me to do so. So here I am taking that risky next step in a challenge I again find very daunting. That challenge is whether you the reader will enjoy readin my stories as much as I have enjoyed creating them. I have thrown off the shackles of conventionality and resorted to using the lingo of a late nineteenth century cowpoke. Believe me when I tell you I'm murdering the English language. For you purists, forgive me. To the rest dive in and have fun. Branton Holmberg
