Author Reading from Colors of Truth

·by Tamera Alexander

I saw a meme the other day about the challenges of “sheltering in place” that stated, “I’m even missing the people I don’t like!” That gave me a chuckle.

How are you, friends? How are you doing in this reduced bubble of life?

I pray you’re well and that our country (and world as a whole) is swiftly approaching a “reopening” and that together we’ll face the new normal—whatever that turns out to be—with courage and optimism. Because we know with full assurance that Jesus is in control. (Can I get an amen?!)

In honor of “sheltering in place,” last week a group of author buddies and I each did a reading from one of our novels, and I thought I’d share mine with you today. I hope it brings a smile. Especially when you see what Bailey (one of our dogs) did while I was recording said video! Ugh!!

My reading is from Colors of Truth, a Carnton novel (book 2) that releases July 7.

So what do you think? Other than I should have forewarned you about the bad Southern Irish accent!

I LOVED writing about Catriona and Nora, two wonderfully spirited and often-at-odds-with-each-other Irish sisters who know how to get the best of each other. And often do!

This same group of author buddies also recorded some quick and fun Q&A sessions about life during the time of the corona virus. You can view those videos on my YouTube channel:

So tell me…

How ARE you really doing? Have you ever been to Ireland? And if you have a pet, what is the last destructive thing they’ve done? (Notice, I didn’t ask IF they’ve ever done something destructive. With animals, that just seems to come with the territory! ; )

Much love from Nashville, friends,
