From Start to Finish by (not Tamera) but Joe Alexander

February 18, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

A year ago, my husband, Joe, felt a strong nudge to begin writing down some of his—and our—family history for our grandchildren, Leo and Ari. As he wrote, he found himself sharing lessons he hopes to one day teach each of them himself, Lord willing.

March 7, 2024 By Karen Witemeyer

Book 2 in my Texas Ever After series releases in just 5 days! I'm so excited to share this story with you. Reimagining the Cinderella fairy tale in an 1800's Texas setting has been so much fun.

January 21, 2022 By Jody Hedlund

With as busy as I am, sometimes I know I’m confusing my readers with everything I have going on! (I honestly confuse myself sometimes too!) So in an effort to give the bigger picture, I thought I’d take today’s post to outline what to expect from me over the coming year. As you know, in this month of JANUARY, my second Waters of Time book, NEVER LEAVE ME, hit shelves. If you haven't yet gotten … [Read more...]
