A surreal blessing . . . unwrapped

December 1, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

There are moments in your life that give you pause. Some are bitter, some are sweet. I received my Christy Award Hall of Fame award in the mail last week, which was definitely a sweet one!

Bakers Gotta Bake—and a GIVEAWAY!

October 20, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

We're hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year, and I'm already looking forward to being with family, to playing games, and to preparing (and eating) those delicious foods associated with the holidays.

Divine Twists & Turns

September 15, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

Three weeks from today on October 6 Colors of Truth my 17th novel releases, and I'm especially grateful to finally be at this milestone with this book. Because writing this one has been a journey—in so many ways. First—I wrote the majority of Colors of Truth during Dad's final year of life here on earth with dementia. So a lot of what God taught me during those exhausting but blessing-filled … [Read more...]
