Temple of the Two Jaguars

Here is another review for this book.



Dreamer's book wrote itself, sequel may, too



Edward Curry's "Temple of the Two Jaguars," is the stuff dreams are made of.



Better yet, the Indiana Jones-style story was the literal product of his dreams after an astrological reading drew him to Maya culture.



Curry's plot weaves elements of intrigue and romance throughout an action-packed Smithsonian-Mexican jungle expedition to find the elusive Maya Rosetta Stone.



"More than half of the book is taken almost entirely from my dreams," said Curry. …



Curry's venture into Mesoamerica began in 2005 after his editor said she was "into" astrology. "Jill Melichar of Synergy Associates asked me if I ever had a positioning (chart) done," said Curry.



"She told me things that only I would have known, and then she told me in a previous life I was a doctor and a healer in the Inca and Maya civilization. She said it would impact my life."



To his surprise, three weeks later he received a phone call from a Maya customer in South America. Then came the dreams.



"I was doing research on the Maya, and these dreams were so vivid," I felt like I had been there before." he said



Something pushed him to write. "I saw the book laid out before me in chapters," Curry said. "I didn't have a storyboard or an outline. I just started writing."



Curry's own long-term marriage was the basis for the relationship between the key characters in the book: Ryan Keshaw and Allison Shelton. "The book was written from a steam of conciousness not really knowing where the story was going. Often the story went in unexpected directions," he said.
