Roseanna for Writers, Coming Soon!
I hear from a lot of you who are also writers ... but I know that doesn't apply to all or even most of my readers. My goal is always to serve all of you as best as I can, and in the past, my "serving other writers" goals have been met by teaching at conferences and doing guest articles on sites...
Mock Latin Words 5
I hope you've enjoyed the Mock Latin series! This is my final installment, and only one is mock Latin. The other two are just "mock" in general, but they were fun, so I thought I'd include them. 😉 Asquatulate - This is another word meant to poke fun at the person who speaks it, this time...
The Sins of a Nation
I’m honored to be part of a new blog series about racial reconciliation, hosted by Alexis Goring, focused on how we as Christians can be the change we want to see in our world. In preparation for this, I’ve been reading a few books to help me better understand the history of the racial tensions in...
Mock Latin Words 4
Nearly through our Mock Latin series! I just have one more week of them after this one. 😉 Today we begin with a word I have used all the time, never realizing it was one of these "fake" constructions! Discombobulate - So obviously this is a fun word, which is why I use it all the time. But I...
It’s Release Day!!!
It's Release Day! There are some books that flow so easily from imagination into the world...and then there are the ones we really have to work at. A Portrait of Loyalty took a lot of hard for me, LOL, but the result is a story that I am SUPER excited about! I love the depth the characters ended...
Mock Latin Words 3
Time for the third installment of the Mock Latin series! Omnium gatherum ~ So technically, this one is only partly "mock." 😉 Omnium is indeed a Latin word for "of all things." Kind of like miscellaneous. In the 1520s (this one is OLD!), people came up with the humorous addition of gatherum to...
Throwback Thursday – When History Was Tragedy
This week...I am taking a MUCH needed vacation. So I pulled something from the archives to share today. Typically, when I pull an archived post, I pull a Thoughtful post...but this one struck me today. Post first published 8/10/2014. Much of my last week has been consumed by Veiled at...
Mock Latin Words 2
Today we're continuing our Mock Latin series with a few more totally fabricated, totally joke words that make me smile. =) Cruciverbalist - Our first word is actually quite new, dating from 1977. If you look at the parts of the word, we have the roots crux which means "cross" and verbum which...
What We’ve Been Reading – August 2020
It's been a great summer for reading for me! This isn't always the case, so that's been a real treat. Of course, it means other things haven't been getting done, but let's not focus on that, LOL. For now, here are a few highlights, though not my exhaustive list!Can you believe it...This was my...
Big, God-Inspired Dreams
I'm a dreamer. I've always been one. I've dreamed of everything from being a princess with a magical winged unicorn to being a teacher who inspires kids to love learning. I've dreamed of discovering new species of dinosaurs and of striking it rich with a diamond mine hidden on my property. I've...
About Me
Roseanna M. White is a bestselling, Christy Award nominated 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.
