Two Queries & a (really cool) Giveaway

April 20, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

I'm currently finishing my first contemporary novel (for Focus on the Family—tentative release date of Spring 2022, Lord willing) and I gotta say, I'm really enjoying a break from writing "real life" historical fiction. Not that I won't return to that. I will. In fact, I've already started the third and final full-length novel in the Carnton series (Christmas at Carnton is a novella). So as … [Read more...]

Podcasts worth listening to

April 6, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

I enjoy listening to podcasts and have several that I routinely follow—and highly recommend! In no certain order, they are: I listen to these as I'm getting ready in the morning, walking (me—and the dogs!), washing dishes, etc...

But you know what I mean. I love having the freedom to take a walk, to clean, to drive from one place to another while also "reading."

FUN NEWS & a GIVEAWAY (for The Chosen novelization by Jerry B. Jenkins)

February 16, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

Happy Tuesday from ICY Nashville, Tennessee! I don't know what the weather is like in your corner of the world but Nashville is slip slidin' away! Give me snow any day over treacherous black ice. Our lovely city is pretty much closed down at present, but the hope of warmer temps springs eternal. As does the hope for Spring itself! Just as I love the changing of seasons in nature, I'm finding … [Read more...]
