Tamera Alexander is a USA Today bestselling author of inspirational historical romance and women's contemporary fiction, including A Million Little Choices, Rekindled, and Within My Heart. While being Gram Tam is her current favorite role, she'll never turn down a stroll through an old cemetery or a browse through antique shops. One of today's most beloved authors in Christian fiction, Tamera's deeply drawn characters and thought-provoking plots have earned her devoted readers around the world, and her novels have been translated into multiple languages.

Her works have been awarded numerous industry-leading honors—among them the Christy Award, the RITA Award, the Carol Award, and Library Journal's top honors—and have earned the distinction of Publishers Weekly Starred Reviews. In 2020 she was inducted into the Christy Award Hall of Fame, which recognizes authors for their legacy and contribution to Christian fiction.

Tamera's novels are set against the backdrop of real history—from the Colorado frontier to the Gilded Age of the American South. Her Belmont Mansion Novels, Belle Meade Plantation Novels, and Carnton Novels are set in three of Nashville's most beloved antebellum estates, weaving real historical figures and events into unforgettable love stories.

Her upcoming novel, In These Hills (Tyndale House Publishers, September 8, 2026), is set in early 1900s Lynchburg, Tennessee, against the real history of Jack Daniel's Distillery and Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House.

Tamera and her husband love living in Nashville, Tennessee, and treasure time spent with their grown children and grandchildren. They live a short distance from the Southern mansions that serve as the backdrop for many of her critically acclaimed novels. Tamera views her writing as a way to grow closer to the Lord Jesus Christ—and her deepest desire is that those who read her novels will take steps closer to Him as well.
