Tamera Alexander is a USA Today bestselling author whose richly drawn characters and thought-provoking plots have earned her devoted readers worldwide, as well as multiple industry awards.

These awards include the Christy Award for Excellence in Christian fiction, the RITA Award for Best Inspirational Romance, the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence, Bookseller’s Best Award, and being listed among Publishers Weekly and Library Journal’s Top Inspirational Fiction, among others.

Tamera was recently inducted into the Christy Award Hall of Fame for excellence in Christian Fiction, an honor bestowed to an author following four Christy Award wins. Her books have been translated into numerous languages. She's toured Germany and The Netherlands meeting readers and cherishes those connections.

Tamera was inspired to become a writer by her mother-in-law Claudette who gave her a book that Tamera took one look at and thought, "Mmmm...not interested." (So much for 'Don't judge a book by its cover!') But being a Southern gal, Tamera thanked her sweet mother-in-law profusely, then shelved the book for a later date.

A few weeks passed, and Tamera got a phone call one afternoon. Claudette had died very suddenly of a brain aneurysm at age 58. In the following months, Tamera happened upon that little book again, the one Claudette had given her. But this time, she sat down and read it cover-to-cover—and her long-ago-tucked-away love of writing was given new life!

The book? Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke.

Tamera writes her novels at home in Tennessee and treasures being a writer. But mostly, she cherishes her connections with people—both real and imagined.

She hopes readers who pick up one of her novels will be swept away into another time and place, that they'll fall in love with the characters and gain insights into the history of the setting and people of yesteryear. But most of all, when a reader turns that final page in one of her novels, she prays they will have taken a step closer to Christ. Because she believes that having a relationship with Him is the most important decision you'll ever make in this life—and the next.

Tamera and her husband make their home in Nashville where they enjoy life with their adult children who live nearby, and Murphy and Bailey, two rambunctious but oh-so-lovable Australian Terriers.
