Last week my fabulous friend and crit partner, Carole Brown was the featured ACFW volunteer. I totally missed this (didn’t read many loop emails as I was buried in the first week of home school and trying to finish a book), but I’d like to give her a big hand now.
Carole is a simply amazing woman, and I’m going to miss hugging her next week in St. Louis. And Carole is BUSY! In addition to traveling a lot with her husband for their ministry and doting on a new grandbaby, Carole is the ACFW Ohio coordinator and secretary for the Ohio chapter, and has begun a cluster meeting in Cincinnati every month. She’s also an assistant for the ACFW book club, one of the ladies who reads the books and then moderates the discussion. Gooooooo, Carole!
When Carole makes it to conference, she inevitably volunteers there as well, usually at the agent/editor appointment area. She gives so selflessly of her time that I’m not sure she ever makes it to class, LOL.
Carole has a great blog that I encourage everyone to check out. I always enjoy my visits there.
Now, I’m finally introducing the next giveaway, which will likely run through October, given how late I’m getting it started. This one will be for our fabulous WhiteFire lineup! My two biblicals, the amazing Shadowed in Silk by Christine Lindsay, set in India of 1919, and our newest book, which doesn’t release until 1 October–a beautiful medieval love story by Dina Sleiman, Dance of the Dandelion.
To enter, just leave a comment on this or any other subsequent Friday post, encouraging Carole. For an extra entry let me know if you’re following Carole’s blog. (Leave separate comments so that I can just count ’em up without thinking, LOL.)
Roseanna M. White is a bestselling, Christy Award winning author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary.
Pick me, pick me. These are great books. Two I haven't read yet, the other two will make great gifts. Can we get them autographed?
Carole, giving back through volunteering is such a good way to be an encouragement to others!

Oh, would I love to get these WF books! I've read JoP, but only the ebook. I've heard only great things about the others!
Carole sounds like a truly great woman. You're blessed to know her!
