Praying for you on your journey,

I have actually never written to an author before but felt I would now. I have just finished both of your books and enjoyed them very much. My daughter who is 19 read them both and asked me to read them so I did. We share a love of reading.

I must say that over the years it has gotten increasingly harder to find books of quality that don't have a bunch of situations that I would be (and should be) embarrassed for my daughter to read. I love historical fiction yet most have so much sex in them that I can't read them. So my daughter and I wanted to thank you for sharing with us stories of substance with out the unneeded or unwanted sex.

We both agree that your books also didn't verge on the corny, hokey, cheesy side as sometimes can be the case with the Christian Fiction genre. A lot of that genre tend to preach more than tell the story and that can be tiresome to read. While I am a student of the Bible I would rather my recreational reading be of the entertaining nature than of the preachy. Even the Bible tells stories or accounts rather than preach.

Although our family is of a different religious belief we appreciate how it is incorporated into the novels. We cannot wait for your next novel of the Fountain Creek Chronicles.

Mrs. Alexander, I hope that I have expressed to you how much we thoroughly enjoyed you creations. Now that I have finished reading maybe I can get some house work done and feed my family on time! They were tough books to put down even to care for my family! I haven't been able to say that in a while!

With much appreciation,
--Wendy

What a beautiful, wonderful story Rekindled is. It touched me in unexpected ways… Some books grab hold of us in ways we never expected, and yours certainly did that for me. I loved your characters and felt challenged to give God's love more consistently and without prejudice to those with physical and emotional scars.

I wanted to thank you so much for the Fountain Creek Chronicles!  They have so deeply inspired me and have left a special memory in my heart that I will never forget!  I teach seventh grade English and to stop and read something like this is so refreshing!  I'm not sure if I can wait too long until the third book!  Again, thank you for Kathryn and Annabelle!  Have a wonderful day! God Bless!

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Rekindled and Revealed! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of both books and I was even saddened when I turned the last page! Although I have been a Christian for some time, I was skeptical of Christian fiction books... I thought they were only Christian "fairy-tale" romances with overly simplistic stories -- until about a month ago when I first read the synopsis of Rekindled online (at Christianbook.com) and decided to give the book a chance. Now, I am so very glad I did!

I really love your detailed portrayal of the characters (their thoughts, reactions, and emotional feelings)... some authors do not include this level of detail, but this is the quality that creates an engrossing scene and distinguishes a great book. This really helps the reader connect with each character and makes them seem more personable and real.

Further, I applaud your ability to combine romance, suspense, and drama into one spellbinding story! I love how your romance books have action and suspense too, not just page after page of lovey-dovey stuff. Both books had moments in which I caught myself holding my breath and glancing ahead. I also appreciate your ability to make your stories realistic while carrying through a poignant message about God's love and grace. Your books have just enough "grit" (realism) to make them seem true, but not so much they seem dark and depressing. The reader is left with an uplifting, positive feeling.

Some Christian authors write a basically secular story and throw in a Bible verse or reference every now and then, but your books carry a true message as the reader witnesses the transformation of the characters' lives.

Please continue writing these fabulous books and consider starting more series... I will be watching for them! You have a God-given gift for writing, and you have blessed me and countless other readers.

I loved Rekindled. I felt the anguish of Larson as he watched his wife from afar. I loved watching them fall in love all over again. I loved that the characters weren't perfect, but that they were growing throughout the book. A great read. I look forward to reading your other books.

--Kristi

I recently read Revealed, and I just wanted you to know that I found the book to be really delightful. The characters are so real, and the spiritual truths inspiring. I would like to see a made for TV movie of that story!! I read aloud to my mother, and that way we both get to enjoy books. I will be looking forward to your future writings, and plan on reading Rekindled.

--Wardie

I love the spirit of Kathryn Jennings. I saw unconditional love displayed in this book, and God's grace is so profoundly seen in the lives of these characters. Tamera Alexander does a fantastic job with this book. I couldn't put it down.
