Carnton, book 3,

the finale in the bestselling Carnton novels series

Many of you have asked, "WHY is it taking so long to write the third Carnton book?"

While writing Carnton book 3, I was contacted by Focus on the Family to be part of a new contemporary fiction line with them, along with authors Chris Fabry and Angela Hunt—and with Jerry B. Jenkins (aka: Left Behind series and Dad to Dallas Jenkins of the phenomenal The Chosen TV series) as editor-in-chief.

The book I wrote? A Million Little Choices (released November 2023), my first dual timeline story (both contemporary & historical), and my first first person POV novel. Thanks to your reading and much-appreciated word-of-mouth to fellow readers, A Million Little Choices is enjoying a wonderful release. If you haven't read it, you can start right now.

Meanwhile, since then, the opportunity came to work with Tyndale Publishers, a publishing house (and team) I've long admired and wanted to work with. So I'm currently finishing a novel for them then will (finally) finish writing the third and last Carnton novel, which has a scheduled release of December 2024. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

And who is the third Carnton novel about? The little red-hair scamp of a sister pictured below...

Yep, it's Nora O'Toole all grown up!

Writing Nora as an adult is a trip, and she more than meets her romantic match in this story. Not to mention we'll wrap up the cherished (and real) Carnton history as we walk the familiar halls and rooms of that house together one last time.

Carnton 3 has a scheduled release of December 2024.

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

Much love from Nashville,

Tamera
