Love's Rescue (2009)
A Dividing Conflict
In 1863, the War Between the States is dividing more than just a nation. To escape the conflict, Jessica Hale and her family flee their Kentucky homestead and head for the Nevada Territory. Her brother, Ambrose, committed to the Confederates, rejoins the Kentucky militia and is disowned by his father. But the worst is yet to come.
A Heroic Kidnapper
When Unionists presume the family to be Confederate sympathizers, they set a devastating fire to their home. All alone and then "kidnapped" by cattleman Jake Bennett, Jessica is taken to a ranch deep in the Sierra Nevada wilderness. Can she overcome her resentment toward Jake
for failing to save her family?
The Depths of Love
When Jake launches a plan to help Jessica's brother escape from prison camp, she sees him for the honest, good-hearted Christian man that he is and now knows the depth of his love for her. Through the lingering smoke and smoldering ashes from her ruined home and murdered family, will Jessica see a future with Jake?

UPCOMING EVENT: TRAVEL BACK TO 19TH CENTURY AMERICA! FOR DETAILS, VISIT THE BLOG BELOW!
Welcome, friends!
I have lived in twenty-seven places in eight states so far. I love horses, mountains, and great love stories, so I write Western romance. My upcoming novel, Love's Rescue, book one in the new Sierra Chronicles Trilogy, is available July 7, 2009, published by the folks at Whitaker House. (View book trailer below!)
To introduce historical romance fans to the Sierra Chronicles Trilogy, I'm sponsoring the kind of contest I'd like to win--a western guest ranch vacation for two! For details, visit http://tammybarley.com/Bookshelf.html (Web site link below and to the left). Feel free to share news of this contest via your ShoutLife bulletin and your blogs. I write to draw people closer to God--Christians and not-yet-Christians alike (might as well crowd heaven, eh?)--and I want to send someone on a vacation of a lifetime.
Love's Rescue is available for preorder at borders.com, barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, christianbook.com, and booksamillion.com.
When I'm not writing? I judge a number of top writing contests and love my full-time work as a manuscript editor and writing mentor.
I am also Mom to two sons, one daughter, a rescued American Eskimo dog, four parakeets and an aquarium full of fish. The children I homeschool; the dog I taught to sit. She also barks at parked cars.
If you love Western and Prairie Romances, find your favorite authors and their newest releases, all in one place. Visit the Western and Prairie Romance Authors List at TammyBarley.com. Discover What's New in Christian Fiction.
A big wave to fellow ACFWers.
I look forward to meeting you all!

PRAISE HIM!!!
You are a new creation in Christ! Never forget that! You are God's masterpiece. You are His workmanship empowered and visible that the entire world may see His heart of love. You are the child over which He sings. In whom He delights as He hears you singing and making melody in you heart, as you walk boldly and expectantly in the fullness of His grace. Praise is the joy that rises in your heart as you welcome and trust Jesus to take His place on the throne of your life. Praise destroys the plans of the enemy against you. It brings the fruit of the Spirit to maturity. It is the balm that heals your hurts and rejoices the heart. It is the substance by which holiness becomes an activity instead of an unaccomplishable feat. It clears your vision and enables you to walk in the purity of heart that Christ has granted you as the righteousness of God, which you are in Him. The strength of your life is recognizable in the song that you sing on a continual basis. When the world, the flesh, and the devil are calling your name that is the time you need to sing God's praises the loudest. Test are permitted by God only that they may strengthen your spirit of praise and carry you to the lofty heights to which He has called you and created you for. Praise your way through the darkness and bleakest moments of your life. Praise God when the storms and battles of life rage, praise Him when times of blessings flow in abundance. Praise Him it is the language of heaven, the delight of the Father and the sure defeat of the enemy! PRAISE HIM!!!!! Ephesians 2:10: Zephaniah 3:17; Psalm 22:3, 29:10, 8:2, 150:6; Revelation 19:5. You are blessed that you may be a blessing! Stockpile the blessings and relinquish the curses they are not meant for you. See Galatians 3:13. Copyright © Sylvia F. Liani
Love and Hugs to you my treasured Friend,
Sylvia xoxoxo
