USA Today bestselling author Tamera Alexander is one of today's most popular writers of inspirational historical romance. Her novels continue to garner reader loyalty around the world, with her most recent, Colors of Truth, hitting the Netherlands bestsellers list right out of the gate. A Christy Award Hall of Fame author, Tamera seeks to draw closer to Christ through her writing and is thrilled when readers share that, through reading one of her novels, they’ve taken steps closer to Him as well. Tamera lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, not far from the Southern mansions that serve as the backdrop for many of her critically-acclaimed novels.

Her novels have received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal and regularly appear on the best-seller lists—including ECPA Bestsellers, the #1 CBA Bestseller spot for historical fiction, and #1 Amazon Bestsellers in Historical Christian Fiction. 

A reviewer from USA Today wrote about one of the Belmont Mansion novels, "To put it simply: This book is a full-on HIT!" (about A Lasting Impression)

Publishers Weekly raves that "Thanks to Tamera Alexander's vivid writing, one can almost hear the music resonating off of the page." (about A Note Yet Unsung)

Tamera has garnered four Christy Awards and was inducted into the Christy Award Hall of Fame in 2020, which is the highest honor awarded Christian fiction. She's a two-time recipient of the coveted Carol Award bestowed by American Christian Fiction Writers , a national organization dedicated to equipping writers with a Christian world view. She's also a two-time winner (and six-time finalist) of the RITA Award—the top award in the romance genre awarded by Romance Writers of America.

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, released October 6, 2020 and was an instant #1 Amazon Bestseller in Historical Christian Fiction—and another reader favorite.

Tamera Alexander is the USA Today bestselling author of Rekindled, Revealed and Remembered, the critically acclaimed Fountain Creek Chronicles historical series. Her second historical series, Timber Ridge Reflections (From a Distance, Beyond This Moment, and Within My Heart) continue her signature style of deeply drawn characters, thought-provoking plots, and poignant prose which has earned her devoted readers worldwide—and multiple industry awards. 

Her critically-acclaimed Southern Mansion novels—the Belmont Mansion series, the Belle Meade Plantation series, and The Carnton Novels—are continuing that beloved tradition.

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).

Her novels have won two Carol Awards, the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence, the Golden Quill Award, the HOLT Medallion, the Bookseller’s Best Award, the National Reader's Choice Award, and Library Journal’s Top Christian Fiction, among others. Tamera's books have been translated into Dutch, German, Polish, Romanian, Slovakian, and Portuguese. 

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.

Each book within Tamera's series are "standalone novels." Meaning that even though the characters in one story may make an appearance in another, each book is a complete and satisfying read. The stories can be read "out of order" and still be enjoyed.

But if you're going to read all the books in a series, then reading books 1, then 2, then 3 is best!
