The Valley of the Dwellers Mystery: an Archeo's Adventure Branton K Holmberg

Publisher Marketing: Professor Michaels, a renowned archeologist, said his grandsons were born to be archeologists. He din't waste any time training them to be just that. From the time they were toddlers he took them with him on what he called his expeditions in time. The boys, Sam, Yoder and Mike were juniors in high school now and had earned themselves the nickname Archeo's (short for archeologists) which they carried with a good deal of pride. They were not only the envy of their high school peers, they were envied by many of professor Michaels colleagues. The Archeo's were on summer vacation staying with their grandparents who had a spacious home on the edge of a wilderness area in the Pacific Northwest. As usual they were out exploring areas in that wilderness. They were looking for what they hoped would be the remains of Native American habitations. That's when they stumbled on a formation in a creek bed that shouldn't have been there. That discovery led them into an adventure they would have never imagined was possible. It all started with what a man named James Warren created and then abandoned. Follow the Archeo's as they uncover mystery after mystery never being quite sure whether what they are pursuing is real, or simply a figment of a very active imagination. 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
