Dawn asked Tamera Alexander:

I am currently reading To Whisper Her Name & have this nagging feeling that one of your Colorado characters visited either Belle Meade or Belmont as part of their story, perhaps Elizabeth from Timber Ridge? However, I read it back in 2014 and maybe my memory is just playing tricks on me. Did one of your Colorado characters visit one of the Southern plantations about which you later authored a trilogy?

Tamera Alexander Good memory, Dawn! Yes, we see a glimpse of Daniel (from From a Distance, Timber Ridge Reflections) in the first Belmont novel (A Lasting Impression). In every novel since my first, I've included a cameo appearance of another character. Sometimes I mention them by name, at other times not, but I'll give a distinguishing detail to let readers who've read that previous novel enough to know who it is. Hope that helps!

P.S. Even in my newest novel A Million Little Choices, there's a glimpse of a character from one of my Colorado novels. I LOVE weaving these characters' lives together, just like our lives do. Much love from Nashville...
