USA Today bestselling novelist Tamera Alexander—author of A Million Little Choices, Rekindled, A Lasting Impression, To Wager Her Heart, Colors of Truth, and more—is one of today's most popular writers of inspirational historical romance and contemporary women's fiction. 


Her works have been awarded numerous industry-leading honors—among them the Christy Award, the RITA Award, the Carol Award, Library Journal's top honors, and have earned the distinction of Publisher's Weekly Starred Reviews. 

In 2020 she was inducted into the Christy Award Hall of Fame which recognizes authors for their legacy and contribution to Christian fiction. Her deeply drawn characters and thought-provoking plots have earned her devoted readers worldwide. 


While being Gram Tam is her current favorite role, she’ll never turn down a stroll through an old cemetery or browsing through antique shops. Tamera and her husband live in Nashville, Tennessee, a short distance from the Southern mansions that serve as the backdrop for many of her critically-acclaimed novels.
