A brand new novel about another Tennessee Treasure


COMING SEPTEMBER 2026

Another novel filled with treasured Tennessee history


When TYNDALE PUBLISHERS, a publishing house and team I've long admired and desired to work with, asked me to partner with them, two stories that I've long wanted to write quickly came to mind. I just turned in the first of those two stories—both novels about much-beloved places in Tennessee. More on this first novel soon, but until then... 

You may be asking, "Where is the third novel in the Carnton series?"

It's coming in early 2026, and it's about the little red-haired scamp of a sister pictured below...
It's Nora O'Toole all grown up!

In this third and final novel in the Carnton trilogy, Nora more than meets her romantic match as we wrap up the cherished (and real) Carnton history and walk the familiar halls and rooms of that house together one last time.

If you haven't visited Carnton yet, keep scrolling for videos filmed on location there.

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

Much love from Nashville,

Tamera
