Carnton Book 3

Series: Carnton Novels, Book 3

Coming 2026

Thanks for your patience as Carnton 3 makes its way to the page. Two other projects have demanded my attention but I will soon—and excitedly—return to the beloved Carnton setting to finish the third and final novel in that series.

Care to guess who it's about? I'll give you a hint...

She's the cute little red-haired scamp in Colors of Truth pictured on the cover with her older sister Catriona. Yep, it's Nora O'Toole all grown up! She more than meets her romantic match in this story as we wrap up the cherished Carnton history and walk the familiar halls and rooms of that house together one last time.

Thank you for entrusting your time to me. It's a gift I treasure and never take for granted.

Much love from Nashville,

Tamera

A note from Tamera . . .

When I first visited Carnton in Franklin (a suburb 20 minutes south of Nashville) many years ago, I knew I wanted to incorporate the stories of the people who had lived and worked at Carnton and who fought in the Civil War at the Battle of Franklin—both the Union and Confederate Armies. These amazing real men and women—including the men, women, and children who were enslaved at Carnton—shaped their war-torn country in lasting and powerful ways.

If you ever get to Nashville, please set aside 2-3 hours to visit Carnton, an important site rich in American history with issues still so pertinent in today's culture. Let's learn from history, not cover it up or try to hide from it. God is a redeemer and a restorer, and the ground at the foot of the cross is level. Only through Christ will we all be truly reconciled.
