How exciting to have Tanner
Fortier, the hero from Her Cowboy Hero written by Carolyne Aarsen, a January,
2015 release from Love Inspired Romance .
1. Tanner, tell me the most
interesting thing about you.
Don’t know if it’s all that
interesting to you all, but I qualified for NFR and am heading to Las Vegas for
the Finals in beginning of December. I’ve been working toward this for years.
2. What do you do for fun?
I like just going out on my
horse, riding but I haven’t had much time for pleasure riding lately. Most of
my time has been focussed on either keeping my mechanic business running and
practicing for the NFR. I used to play Scrabble. With Keira, when we used to
hang out, but that was a long time ago. We used to make up words.
3. What do you put off doing because you dread
it?
Meeting Keira. You’d think
I could have gotten over her breaking up with me, but I really loved her. I’ve
got to bring her my brother’s saddle to get fixed and I can’t really put it off
anymore. I need the saddle to ride in the NFR. I’m doing this all in honour of
my dead half-brother, David.
4. What are you afraid of most in life?
Disappointing people.
Shouldn’t bug me as much as it does, but I always feel like I have to do the right
thing, be the right guy. I was once afraid of losing Keira and then it
happened. I guess I got through it, but I don’t want anything like that to
happen to me again.
5. What is the most important thing to you?
Right now, winning this NFR
so I can bring the buckle and my brother’s saddle to my step-mom, David’s mom.
I figure it’s a small way of making up for the fact that David died while we
were together.
6. Do you read books? If so, what is your
favorite type of book?
Not much for reading. Too
busy being on the move I guess.
7. If you could change one thing about yourself,
what would it be?
I think I would lose the
feeling that I have to figure everything out. I know I need to trust that God
will work out his will in my life, but it’s hard when I’m trying so hard to fix
everything that happened - everything that went wrong.
8. Do you have a pet? If so, what is it and why
that pet?
Used to have a dog years
ago, but since Dad died and left the ranch to my step-mom I don’t live there
anymore. I don’t figure it’s fair to have a dog when you can’t be around enough
to take care of him.
9. If you could travel back
in time, where would you go and why?
I’d go back to that day
that Keira took off without telling me why. I’d run after her this time and
find out why. That’s what I’d do.
