I've had this question more than once already this week from
readers, so thought I'd respond here too.
The question: "Are there going to be any more books in
the Belmont Mansion series? I see another series starting up, with Whisper Her
Name (Belle Meade Plantation), and I was just wondering."
YES! And thanks for asking! There are TWO more books coming
in both the Belmont Mansion series and the Belle Meade Plantation series. A
LASTING IMPRESSION is book 1 for Belmont. And TO WHISPER HER NAME (releasing Oct
23) is book 1 for Belle Meade. The two series "intertwine" and show
us different perspectives of Nashville during similar time periods.
Adelicia Acklen (the mistress of Belmont) and the Harding
family (from Belle Meade) knew one another, though they moved in different
social circles. Belmont was the "summer villa" of the richest woman
in the U.S. at the time, and Belle Meade Plantation was the most influential
thoroughbred stud farm in American history. So you can imagine how different
the settings are, as well as their histories. And how interesting! I hope you
think so too.
So as you're reading both the Belmont Mansion series and the
Belle Meade Plantation series, know that I'm writing them to
"intertwine." Meaning… You *might* just catch glimpses of people from
the Belmont books in the Belle Meade books (or visa versa), as well as glimpse
a character from a past novel of mine.
Here's the trailer for To Whisper Her Name...
What others are saying about To Whisper Her Name…
"Pure reading pleasure!"
~ Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times bestselling author of Mine Is the Night
"Rich in history, romance, and human drama, To
Whisper Her Name is a book to be savored, like a sumptuous Southern
banquet. Tamera Alexander's skills as a master storyteller have never been more
evident."
~ Robin Lee Hatcher, bestselling author of Beloved and
Betrayal
“Beautiful. Powerful. Stirring. And now written on my heart for all
time.”
~ Cindy
Woodsmall, New York Times best-selling author of Sisters of the Quilt series
"The thing
I love about each of Tamera’s books is that when I’m done, I haven’t just
indulged in reading a period romance that I loved, but I’ve acquired a deeper
understanding of my relationship with God and have gained nuggets of wisdom
that I can apply to my life."
