Tamara, I love your books. You are a fabulous writer! I was wondering why you chose to go back to your older books and rewrite them as clean reads (which I appreciate very much. Thank you for that!)?

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I needed that :) As for your question... I decided to rewrite my general market novels into clean reads to give them new life and the benefit of what is now 20+ years of writing experience. My, they needed work! When I transitioned to the inspirational genre in 2005, I left behind the requisite love scenes and, instead, focused on romance that touched the heart and allowed room for the exploration of my characters' faith. With the clean reads, the element of faith is present, as it naturally would be for the medieval time period, but the rewrites are edgier than my "Age Of Faith" inspirational medieval series. Whew! Long answer, hmm? Thank you for dropping by. Have a lovely weekend!(less)

Hi Tamara! Just wanted to say that I LOVE your books! The Unveiling is one of my absolute favorites, and I so appreciate the way you write clean, yet passionate and true romance. I just finished Fearless, and can't wait for Nameless. I was wondering, do you have any more standalone medieval books in progress? Thanks!!

Tamara Leigh Hi Kelsey! Thank you for the kind words of encouragement--inspiration for a writer's pen! I'm honored you've given precious reading time to my medieva…moreHi Kelsey! Thank you for the kind words of encouragement--inspiration for a writer's pen! I'm honored you've given precious reading time to my medieval romances and blessed you enjoyed them. I hope Fearless "hit the spot" :) It was the most time intensive and difficult to write, but I think it came together well. Today I'm working on the fourth chapter of Nameless and exploring new events of the Norman Conquest. Which ones to include, which ones to gloss over--those are the questions! As for other standalone medieval books, have you read the "Lady" general market rewrites (Lady At Arms, Lady of Eve, Lady of Fire...)? The first two of the seven are prequel/sequel, but the remainder are standalones. At this time, I don't have plans beyond the Age of Conquest series, but you never know. Wishing you a beautiful day.
