As revealed in part 1 of the Christian Fiction Examiner's interview with Tammy Barley, she has a love for horses and writing. Her book Love's Rescue recently reached #11 on ChristianBook's historical fiction Bestseller List. In part 2 of the interview, Tammy talks about her newest release Hope's Promise.
E: What is your most recent release about?
T: Here’s the quickie blurb for Hope’s Promise, book two of The Sierra Chronicles trilogy:
For Better, for Worse
Jake Bennett is finally wed to the love of his life, Jessica Hale—but he isn’t convinced she won’t leave him. Life is a constant struggle for the Bennetts as they battle drought and live in fear of raids on Southerners, and he is not sure that Jess knew what she was getting herself into when she married him.
In Sickness and in Health
Jess, however, despairs for another reason—she is unable to conceive a child.
A Solemn Vow to Stand Together
While trying to prove their unconditional love for each other, the Bennetts must defend against attacks on the Paiutes, the doubts that haunt them both, and an unknown force that threatens to destroy all they hold dear. Together, they must stand in faith through betrayal, barrenness, and a very real threat, trusting that God will reward their hopes for a better future.
E: Anything else you'd like your fans to know?

Vacation give away? Cool!
Vacation give away? Cool!
The vacation giveaway is an interesting idea. I've never heard of an author doing that? Is this part of the new world of PR and marketing that I'm unaware of for small presses? So much to learn! Anyway, I hope Tammy Barley's giveaway helps spread the work for "Hope's Promise."
I like the contest idea too. very creative.
I enjoyed both columns Cindi and your questions were so good especially how the author's day went. Yes, we are "Writers Interrupted" (http://writerinterrupted.ning.com)
Excellent article with Tammy Barley! I love the vacation giveaway.
