Coming Soon
You may ask, "Why the different look from my previous 17 novels?"

Because A Million Little Choices is my first contemporary. It's a dual timeline story which has been living inside me for over 15 years, and I'm beyond excited to finally share Claire and Stephen's journey with you on November 7!

I know November seems far away, but I promise I've worked hard to make it worth the wait.

About the book . . .

Sometimes secrets just won’t stay hidden . . .
 
Two women from different centuries living in the same house share strikingly similar journeys.

Claire Powell’s life is turned upside down when her beloved husband admits to a “near affair.” But when Stephen accepts a partnership with an Atlanta law firm without consulting her and buys a historic Southern home sight-unseen—it pushes their already-fractured marriage to the breaking point. Claire’s world spirals, and she soon finds herself in a marriage she no longer wants, in a house she never asked for.

In 1863, Charlotte Thursmann, pregnant and trapped in a marriage to an abusive husband, struggles to protect her unborn child and the enslaved members of her household. Desperate, she’s determined to right the evils her husband and others like him commit. But how can one woman put an end to such injustice? Especially if her husband makes good on his threat to kill her?

Both Claire and Charlotte discover truths about themselves they never realized, along with secrets long hidden that hold the power to bring God’s restoration—if only they choose to let it.

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?"

Well, 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 Jenkins as the lead editor. After I made sure they hadn't called the wrong number, I quickly signed on. That book? A Million Little Choices shown above.

A Million Little Choices—my first contemporary, first first-person-POV, and first dual-story line novel—is a story I'm especially eager to share with you.

The stories that have lived inside me the longest are often the most difficult to write, and A Million Little Choices was certainly that. Not only because of the subject matter—marriage and infidelity—but because these characters are all so real to me and the settings so tangible, that "first words on the page" often felt frustratingly inadequate and thin compared to the living, breathing movie inside me.

Thankfully I enjoy rewriting and honing, and I never want to offer God something that's cost me nothing (2 Samuel 24:24 ). I'm beyond grateful to have this book written, edited, and headed to press!

Meanwhile, I'm happily returning to the beloved Carnton setting to finish the third and final novel in that series. Care to guess who it's about? I'll give you a hint...

She's the cute little red-haired scamp in Colors of Truth —pictured below on the cover with her older sister Catriona.
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 real Carnton history and walk the familiar halls and rooms of that house together one last time.

Carnton 3 has a scheduled release of late Summer 2023.

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

Much love from Nashville,

Tamera
