Publisher Marketing: I'll bet ya knew we was gonna make it 't Egypt on one our treasure hunts. Wal now, that's just what we're doin this time. Jeffrey, Sam's assistant there in our offices in Santa Fe, dug up some very interestin stuff on Pharaoh Harihor who was a high priest before he became a pharaoh. That put him in a unique situation regardin the tombs 'n treasures of ever pharaoh before him. Legend says he was the richest pharaoh ever 'n Sam was bettin he knew how he got that way. He was also bettin he could find the tomb of Harihor even though hunder'ts of others had tried it 'n had come up empty handed. Before we head 't Egypt though we have 't take care of what we was gonna do with our business "OBJ Treasure Hunters, Inc." Things was gettin absolutely crazy on us 'n we had 't make a major decision bout what 't do. Once we got out there among the tombs lookin fer Harihors, we was set upon by a band of grave robbers. They was a fearsome bunch 'n was bristilin with firepower. They wanted Big Mike. They was bettin we'd pay 'em a king's ransom 't get him back 'n they was shore right bout that. Yer gonna have 't sit down 't read what we found under the Sphinx. Whoever created what we found there was one of the greatest minds ever. I wonder if aliens had a hand in it? Pack real light stuff on this trip cause it gets mighty warm in Egypt. Shore glad yer comin along. It makes everthin a thousand times more excitin. 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
