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?

Interview
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!
