Media Introduction
Short Bio
Tamera Alexander is a USA Today bestselling novelist and one of today's most beloved authors of inspirational historical romance. 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. Her deeply drawn characters and thought-provoking plots have earned her devoted readers worldwide, including Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, and Romania.
Tamera and her husband reside in Nashville, Tennessee, where they live a short distance from Nashville's Belmont Mansion
and Belle Meade Plantation, and Carnton—the settings of Tamera’s #1 CBA bestselling Southern series.
Her newest series, The Carnton Novels, launched in fall 2017 with Christmas at Carnton, which was an instant ECPA Bestseller. Christmas at Carnton, a novella, is set in Franklin, Tennessee at historic Carnton. With This Pledge quickly followed in that series as #1 Amazon bestseller, an ECPA bestseller, and garnered a coveted Christy Award as well, which (being Tamera's 4th win) ushered her into the Christy Award Hall of Fame.
Colors of Truth, the second full length Carnton novel, had a bumpy road to publication when Tamera's publisher cancelled the novel after she refused to rewrite history. Tamera released the novel as an indie in October 2020 and it became an instant #1 Amazon Bestseller in Historical Christian Fiction and two other categories—as well as another reader favorite.
Long Bio
Her books have been honored with four Christy Awards for Excellence in Christian Fiction (she's an eleven-time finalist) and have twice earned the distinction of the RITA Award for Best Inspirational Romance (Tamera is a six-time finalist).
Tamera lives with her husband in Nashville, Tennessee, not far from the Southern mansions that serve as the backdrop for many of her critically-acclaimed novels.
