Tamera Alexander

Tamera Alexander is a USA Today bestselling author of Christian historical fiction and women's contemporary fiction. Her award-winning novels, including those inspired by Carnton, Belle Meade Plantation, Belmont Mansion, and the Colorado Territory, have captivated readers worldwide. While being Gram Tam is her current favorite role, she'll never turn down a stroll through an old cemetery or browsing antique shops.

Her works have been awarded numerous industry-leading honors—among them the Christy Award, the RITA Award, the Carol Award, Library Journal's top honors—and have earned the distinction of Publisher's 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. Her deeply drawn characters and thought-provoking plots have earned her devoted readers worldwide.

Tamera and her husband love living in Nashville, Tennessee, and treasure the 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.
