A note about Tamera's three Southern mansion series...


All of the Southern mansion novels are "stand alone" novels, meaning each novel is a complete story in itself. But because the families in the mansions actually knew one another in the 1800s and since their lives connected back then, it only made sense that they should connect again on the pages of these novels. 

So as you read a Belle Meade Plantation novel, for instance, you may catch a glimpse of a character from a Belmont Mansion novel. Same for the Carnton novels. 

Thanks for reading—and let me hear from you soon!
