Please join me in welcoming author Sandra Cox! I'm excited to read her new novel Return to Silverhills.  A trail boss with a fast gun. A damaged woman. A cattle drive fraught with danger. And a combustible attraction. Excerpt: “Be careful. Be careful. Be careful.” Cookie’s strained voice echoed in the cave. She looked to her right. Her breath caught and she swayed dizzily. What she’d thought a dark and shadowy wall was black, empty nothingness. Taking a deep breath and calming her pounding heart, she held her lantern higher. There didn’t seem to be any drop-offs in the second chamber, three sides surrounded by ridged stone. As she took a step forward, Happy put a hoof in thin air. The mule brayed, panicked, backing up into Cookie and Hope. Cursing, Cookie sat down abruptly. Lisa pulled the mule forward before it could step on Cookie. Nervous, the mule stepped frontward placing a hoof on Lisa’s too long slicker. It jerked her to the right and her foot went over the side. As the reins slid through her fingers, the mule bellowed in fear and, brushing against her, bolted into the next chamber, its hooves clanging eerily against the stone, it’s hide scraping the wall. A ringing sounded in her ears as she lost her balance. Her arms flapping wildly, she tumbled sideways. She managed to right herself but not enough to stop the fall, grabbing the ledge as she went over. The lantern tumbling into the black where it landed with a splash into water far below.  Jeff Wade Character Facts: Most folks have a dog for a pet. Jeff has a calf that follows him around. When his horse, who is carrying two people on his back, starts having trouble in a strong current while crossing the Red River on a trail drive, Jeff jumps on the back of a longhorn and rides it across. When Wade men mate, like the wolf, it’s for life.   Bio: Sandra, who also writes as S. Cox, is a vegetarian, animal lover and avid gardener. She lives with her husband, their dog and cats in sunny North Carolina. An award-winning author, her stories consist of all things Western and more. Foodie Facts: She spent a number of years in the Midwest chasing down good Southern BBQ. By the time she moved to North Carolina where Southern BBQ is practically a staple, she’d become a vegetarian. Pineapple is a must-have on pizza, along with black olives and onions. She loves pumpkin waffles. Pumpkin cream cheese, not so much.
