Tamera Alexander and I have been friends for years, and I love her richly layered Reconstruction novels. When we've traveled to Nashville, I've had to visit some of the plantations that her novels have been set at. They are that real to me. Have you read any of her novels?

Do you love southern fiction? Love a historical novel that sweeps you back in time and firmly plants you in the time and place of the characters? Then you will love this conversation with Tamera Alexander. Tamera writes books set in Colorado and Nashville. Her most recent novel, Colors of Truth, explores the months after the Civil War in Franklin, Tennessee. These novels are richly textured and reflect the best of historical fiction. I hope you enjoy our chat!
