About The Steadfast
Love Series
In 16th-century Europe, the Reformation rages
between Protestants and Catholics. Gwyneth, half-Dutch, flees from England to
Holland to escape the man who murdered her parents. When he follows her there
and insists he came to rescue her, will she trust this man called Dirk? When
tragedy strikes, will their steadfast love erode?
About The Author
Times gone by snatch Rachelle Rea
Cobb close, so she reads and writes about years long ago--her passions include
the Reformation, Revolutions, and romance. Rachelle wrote the Steadfast Love
series during college. Five months after she graduated, she signed a three-book
deal with her dream publisher, WhiteFire. She's a homeschool grad, Oreo addict,
and plots her novels while driving around her dream car, a pick-up truck. In
June 2016, she married a man with the same name as her fictional hero, and they
live happily ever after in Small Town, South. She is also the author of Write Well, a guide for writers, which
released on March 4th!

About The Sound of Emeralds
What once was blazing hatred has turned to lasting love,
but could the union of a wild heart with that of a lady ever result in more
than heartache?
With the help of an old friend with uncertain loyalties,
Dirk inches ever closer to clearing his name. Gwyneth throws her faith into
good tidings and the promise of a future as a family. But an old evil comes to
call, just as tragedy rips apart a fledgling truce. Enemies from the past and
grief for the future threaten to tear asunder what God had brought together…
As the date of Dirk’s trial approaches, his fate and his
family hang in the balance. Will he be proven innocent of Gwyneth’s parents’
murders—or separated from her forever? How much pain does it take to erode
a love steadfast?

An
Interview with Rachelle Rea Cobb
1. When and where did you first get the idea for the
Steadfast Love Series?
A song I was listening to on the radio inspired the title
of the first book. So I wrote Diamonds, but when I finished it, I realized to
my great frustration that the characters weren’t done with their story, even
though I had been quite adamant that I would write a stand-alone novel. But the
story wasn’t finished, so I kept writing.
2. Readers often
pick out favorite quotes from a novel. Do you have a favorite of your own from
The Sound of Silver?
Yes! In fact, my friend Mindy, a calligrapher, even
created a beautiful piece of art from one of my favorite quotes: “Within the
pages of books one’s heart can be revealed.”
3. Can you tell us
what first drew you to writing Inspirational Historical Romance?
My first exposure to the genre came when I read Heartsong
Presents novels when I was twelve. Those small books introduced me to how much
I believe in the power of story, especially love stories set in times gone by.
4. I saw on your
website that you also write reviews, articles and offer editing services.
What's one of your favorite things beyond writing novels that you enjoy?
Editing is such fun! I daresay I enjoy editing a page
full of my own (or others’!) words just as much as I enjoy splashing words onto
a blank page. I recently released my first nonfiction book, Write Well, which
is a short ebook designed as a guide writers!
And there you have it! Congratulations to Rachelle on her
wonderful series! Good luck to all those entering the giveaway!
