I’m thrilled to have fellow author and friend Sandra Cox here today to share her latest release, Geller’s Find. Review to follow soon—after my re-read 🙂
Character Facts
Doctor Luke Geller is a full-time history professor and part-time
archeologist.
His specialty is Native American artifacts.
Instead of a gun, he carries a Hopi throwing stick.
He likes cats and horses and has a sense of humor.
Excerpt
“Dammit.”
His heels caught in a patch of fuzzy green and gray weeds. Buried in
their center was a large piece of chiastolite. Ancient markings all but
obliterating the standard graphite cross that long ago was used to ward off
evil. The hair on the back of his neck rose and his nerves twitched. He’d
never seen anything like that rock before. He nudged it with his foot. When
it didn’t budge, he bent to pick it up.
The ground under his feet trembled.
The chiastolite glowed. The markings shimmered.
What the hell?
He flapped his arms, trying to balance himself as the ground dropped
an inch. A perfect circle below his feet gave way, the stone still in place.
He fell into a mineral cylinder.
The bottom dropped.
His stomach flopped and he swirled down.
The wind whistled in his ears as he tumbled into a black hole that went
on forever. The chill in the air fell away. The further down he went, the
hotter the air. The rocks around him began to glow. Good God. Either he
was heading for hell or the earth’s core, and neither was where he wanted
to be. His grip on the rifle tightened as he bounced off the hot stones that
closed around him as he whirled in a tube of rock.
Time had no meaning. Seconds, minutes, maybe more passed as the
cyclone of air spun him around. His stomach pushed up to his throat and
he fought off nausea.
With a scraping sound, the spinning lurched to a stop.
Then as if an elevator button was punched, he started upward. Only
unlike an elevator there was no floor, just rough rock gravity glued him
against.
Up. Up. Up. Faster and faster. Then momentum stopped. His body
quivered. A force thrust upward and opened.
He dropped.
Hard earth rose to meet him.
With a thud, he landed.

Thanks for the information, and a great review, Denise! A new western novel has arrived, and it sounds perfect for a read near the heated fireplace. 🙂 Best wishes, Michael
I love the excerpt! Very exciting. Poor man! Congrats to Ms. Cox on this latest release.
I know, Priscilla. What a way to get from one place to another, yet worth it.
Thank you so much, Pricilla. Glad you liked the excerpt:)
Thank you, Michael 🙂 You are so right there is nothing like a good western by a cozy fire!
Thanks, Michael. The fireplace is nice imagery:)

I know I’ll be reading this one before the month is over. I really enjoy Sandra’s writing and this one is on my kindle, tempting me every time I open the thing. Thanks for hosting, Denise, and to Sandra…congrats on the latest book!
You have a good read ahead, Diana 🙂 I always enjoy Sandra’s writing too.
Thanks, Diana! Loved Necromancer’s Daughter!
Thanks, Sandra. I’m delighted!
Yep, she’s done it again!
About that hat… I went on a hunt for a walking hat a few months ago. I wanted one like Vera wears on the TV show (much like the one in the picture). Amazingly, that is a thing–her hat! This one above–perfect rim, looks full of personality. You found it where?
She sure has, Jacqui 🙂 My husband is always on the hunt for the same type of hat too. He has gotten luckily at a little local hat shop. I call it his Indiana Jones hats.
That is a perfect name. Maybe I’ll search that…
I hope you find it!
Thanks, Jacqui:) Yup, you definitely need one of those hats.
Sandra amazes me at how fast she turns out books! And this one sounds like another winner. Loved the excerpt. How interesting that Sandra is a vegetarian. 🙂 Thanks for spotlighting her today, Denise!
I have no life, Jan. Heh.
I know, Jan, she is a proficient writer with one winner after another 🙂 That traveling part was a bit brutal. Yes, very interesting on being a vegetarian, I’vebeen headed in that direction slowly. Happy to spread the good news.
Denise, Thanks so much for hosting me today. You rock….
Happy to, Sandra. Just finished my re-read, enjoyed even more second time around. Xo
This looks like another great release from Sandra. I will be adding it to my TBR!
Thanks for hosting, Denise.
It is, Mae 🙂 Happy reading xo
Yay. Chatham Hollow is sitting in my Kindle:)
I’ve had Internet trouble all day. If this is a duplicate, I apologize.
Thanks, Denise. You must have loved this story a lot if you’re reading it twice before writing your review. That’s wonderful news. Seems like Sandra has another hit on her hands. Best wishes to her.
Thanks, Stacy. From your lips to the universe’s ear:)
💕
Boo internet trouble, Staci. I only see one though. I did love the story and enjoyed it even more second time around.
Denise, Hugs:)
PS Sorry you’re having internet trouble.
I wish I could say it’s a one-time thing, but it’s become the status quo. Sigh.
Thanks.
Congratulations Sandra! I am 30% done with your book and really enjoying it. Thanks for sharing it Denise.
Yay. You made my day, Balroop:)
Happy to share it, Balroop. Enjoy the rest of the story 🙂

HI Denise, It is great to see Sandra here with another new book.
Looks like it would be a wonderful read. Thank you, Denise, for featuring Sandra.
Thanks Karen. I’m never disappointed in Sandra’s stories 🙂
Congrats to Sandra on what looks another fine read. <3 x
It is another good read, Debby xo
Btw, I finallyyyyyyyyyyy found the glitch why I wasn’t getting your post notifications – or replies. I tried signing up yet again to follow blog and a message came up saying, I already signed up too many times and they are sitting in pending. What??? I went on manage wordpress, saw some weird sites pending, deleted them, and voila, I’m now actually getting notifications from you! Mercury is so busy playing games. 🙂 xx
I found the very same issue recently when I went to follow a blog and it told me I had too many pending. I saw a couple that had been pending for my approval and a couple I had no idea where they came from. I agree Mercury has been very busy. Hooray though for resolving problems. Xo hugs
Yay us! And see? Now I’m even receiving your comments in notification. Have we defeated the dragons of mercury? Lol <3
Congratulations, Sandra! Thirty books is quite an accomplishment, too! I like the character facts about Doctor Luke Geller, a nice touch. Thank you for sharing, Denise. 🙂
It is quite an accomplishment, Mark 🙂 I liked those facts too. Thanks, Mark!
