SAMBA Submission
I just submitted my entry for the upcoming Phaze HeatSheet, deliciously entitled SAMBA…
This is my first romantic adventure, and writing it really exhilarated me! Through this story, I have learned how fun research can be. I spent hours online, searching through information on caving, archaeology, and the flora and fauna of the exotic jungle of Belize.
I’ll be posting this story to my Books page, but for now, here’s a blurb…
An archaeologist and cave expert, Raul Ignacio has been offered a million dollars to find the staff of an ancient Mayan ruler in the ruins of Luchitak Temple in Belize. Using his life savings, he has anonymously funded an excavation of the temple in hopes of finding the artifact. A newcomer to the excavation scene, Theresa Tustin desperately wants to make a name for herself in the archaeology world. She seduces Raul with her competitive spirit, as she needs to distinguish herself to obtain the well-paying jobs she needs to support her ailing mother’s massive debts.
When it’s anounced that the excavation’s funding has run dry, Theresa makes one last attempt to find the ruler’s tomb and Raul tails the sexy vixen into the ruins. An unexpected cave-in leaves them stranded in the belly of the temple, their only escape a winding maze of caves beneath the mountains of Belize. With all of his money gone, will Raul find the staff and lead Theresa to safety or will he be left…in ruins?
Hopefully, this one is picked up by Phaze so that you can check it out!
