Urcelia Teixeira is a suspense and Christina mystery fiction novelist who has made a name for herself writing some of the most gripping novels in the genre. She has been a committed Christian for more than two decades and her life mantra is that she used to be just a writer but is now a writer with a purpose. Teixeira is a native of South Africa since she was born in Cape Town and spent her formative years there. She has said that as a Christian she writes for the glory of God first. Once she is sure that she has accomplished that, she writes to encourage, entertain, and delight her readers with thrilling narratives with nuggets of biblical truth.

As a child, Urcelia Teixeira loved to read books, write poems, and keep journals, even though becoming an author of novels was never something she thought she could ever do. Living in South Africa, eBooks were a foreign concept that only arrived in the country in 2014. In 2017, a friend introduced Urcelia to self-publishing which she was seeing much success with. She was intrigued with the idea and hence added it to her bucket list. Her first pieces were two horrible short stories that awakened the writing bug. It was not long before she was writing the manuscript for her debut novel at night after coming in from working as a real estate agent. Teixeira published her debut in December 2017 and a few weeks later, she started getting messages asking when she would be publishing the second. She decided to acquiesce to her fan’s request and soon enough she became a full-time author.

Teixeira usually does her writing from a tiny space in her bedroom she has designated as her writing nook. Even though she knows that it is not advisable to write from her bedroom, she believes it is the best place for her to write particularly at this stage of her career. Urcelia usually sets the stage for writing with background music, candles, and aromatherapy oils. She also likes to have a very organized and aesthetically pleasing workspace and has a big window near her desk that overlooks the adjacent woods. Still, she hopes that she will one day make enough money so that she can move and be able to write with a view of the ocean. Teixeira has occasionally written her manuscripts in coffee shops, even though she has a preference for working in distraction-free spaces. She is also very disciplined and has a set number of words she needs to knock out each day.

Urcelia Teixeira’s novels have been described as fast-paced archeological adventure thriller novels. Some of her fans have said that her novels are Lara Croft meets Indiana ones with a twist of Jason Bourne. She now has at least eighteen titles to her name across at least five series.

The Rhapta Key is one of Urcelia Teixeira’s most popular novels that tells the story of Alex Hunt who was brought up by two archeological parents. As such, he knows all about adventure and the dangers that come with it. However, when her mother dies in tragic circumstances, she vows that she will never engage in any form of archeological adventure. Years later, her father mysteriously goes missing and she will do anything to resolve the mystery and find her father. Fortunately, she has someone to go along with her. Sam Quinn is an inexperienced man who heads out with her on an adventure filled with action across the African Savannah where they have to deal with heartache, fear, and danger. As they deal with betrayal, crime, and sabotage, their will to survive and inner strength will be tested to the limit as they take on some very sophisticated enemies. Throw in some faith nuggets and it is a suspense-filled fiction work that takes its readers by the scruff of the neck from the first page to the last. Full of turns, twists, and mystery, it will keep its readers guessing right to the very end.

Urcelia Teixeira published the second novel of the Alex Hunt series The Gilded Treason in 2022. The work is set two millennia in the past, to a time when the remains of the Buddha were gathered in collected into golden urns and then distributed across the globe to his followers. But things get interesting when one of the urns which had been kept at a Phnom Penh mountain shrine goes missing. The government of Cambodia hires Sam Quinn and Alex Hunt who are the foremost artifact salvagers in the world to track down the urn and bring it back to the Phnom Penh shrine. It was supposed to be an easy job and it was something similar to what they had done many times before. However, the pair finds themselves mired in a complex international conspiracy of crime and secrets that could endanger their very own lives. Dealing with underground syndicates and danger, they come to realize that no one can be trusted. It is yet again a riveting story of adventure set in Vietnam and Cambodia.

The Alpha Strain is Urcelia Teixeira’s third novel of the Alex Hunt series of novels. This time around Sam and Alex have a United Nations contract to track down and retrieve a fossil that may link humans to mitochondrial Eve. It is a dangerous mission that will require them to head to an underground cave system in South Africa which is currently ravaged by war. It is not long before they confront the perils of a nation at war with itself. Caught in between, they have to stay alert, even as they strive to complete their mission while staying alive. In all that, they have to deal with a narcissistic billionaire who operates in the shadows and will do anything to steal his fossil just to feed his ego. Looking for more than acclaim and mere power, he is determined to win at all costs. Will Sam and Alex be able to do what they have been assigned to do and leave the country with their lives or will this mission be their end?
