It’s that time of year again! The time that I wait for rather anxiously…and the time that I’m in rather desperate need of this year: Writing Retreat Time!
Today I’m en route to Kansas City, where my best friend, the fantabulous
Stephanie Morrill, will pick me up from the airport. After dropping off her kids and exchanging cars, LOL, we’ll check in to a lovely little Airbnb and vanish from the world for a few beautiful, story-filled days.

| At last year’s writing retreat. Ice cream is an important incentive! We get a bowl when we hit 10K in a day. |
There will be brainstorming. There will be laughter. There will be ice cream and Kansas City BBQ and amazing coffee from her parents’ coffee shop.
But most of all, there will be many, many uninterrupted hours of writing.
This year, I need to finish up my next book in the Guideposts series, Secrets of Wayfarers Inn. I’m working on book 20 right now, entitled There’s No Place Like Holmes–a Sherlock-themed mystery, in case you couldn’t tell. 😉 A book which is due 2 days after I return home, so…yeah. If you think of it, say a prayer that the words come easily and smoothly and I can get this baby done!
There will be no other blogs posting until I’m home again, but if you’re curious about how it’s going, I’ll be posting quick updates to social media!
See you back here next week!

The holidays are over, the set redesign has been (mostly) figured out, and I have been a busy bee brainstorming what content to bring you guys this year. The result?
Roseanna White Live is coming back soon!
February 25, to be exact.
And this season, we’re changing things up a bit. The program will be less just me talking about my own books and more talking about things of interest to Christian readers everywhere! I’m really excited about the schedule I’ve decided on. I don’t have all my guests and topics slotted yet, but here’s the monthly schedule.
FIRST MONDAYS
“Face to Face”
Interviews with some of your favorite authors, leading with Kate Breslin and Stephanie Morrill
SECOND MONDAYS
“From the Bookshelves”
Reading a selection of a book (mine and others’) and providing commentary–sometime serious, sometimes funny–on the passage, Mystery Science Theater style
THIRD MONDAYS
“State of the Booksterverse”
Hot topic discussions with other writers and readers on things like the presence (or lack thereof) of diversity in Christian fiction, what Christian fiction even
is, the value of
Christian Romance as a genre, how authors should find the balance between happily-ever-after and reality in their stories, and more!
FOURTH MONDAYS
“At the Desk”
This will be when I talk about my new releases, my work-in-progress, projects I’ve been editing, and perhaps book covers I’ve recently designed
FIFTH MONDAY?
“Wildcard Week”
If a month has five Mondays, then the fifth one will be an extra of one of the other four segments, as voted on by the viewers. (There’s been talk of a wheel we’ll spin…we’ll see if that works out, LOL)
And the season will end with (insert bugle flourish)…
An Awards Show!
More information on that will come later =)
I’m super excited about the new structure and lineup! And this season, it won’t only be on Facebook. You’ll also be able to watch from my website and our Roku channel.
Now…
I want to know which topics interest you most for the “State of the Booksterverse” episodes! I’d love it if you’d take a minute to fill out this quick form. And please feel free to add topics if there’s something I didn’t mention that you think would make for great conversation.

Do you love reading and telling people about books? Do you love reading my books? Would you like to receive exclusive content and early access to my newest books? Apply to be an Influencer and you CAN! Sound interesting?
I am currently receiving applications for The Codebreakers Launch Team and would love to have you apply! Now, you may be asking yourself, “What exactly does an influencer do?” It’s pretty easy, you will get a (free) copy of my books, read said books, and then you tell people about them. This can be by reviewing it, posting on social media, through email, or face-to-face. Don’t worry, we’ll help you out along the way. The most important thing to remember is that as an influencer, you will be helping me to create positive buzz about my upcoming books. Have I hooked you yet? Well, if not…
About the Book
Three years into the Great War, England’s greatest asset is their intelligence network—field agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack every German telegram. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages. But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, for the first time in her life numbers aren’t enough.
Drake Elton returns wounded from the field, followed by an enemy that just won’t give up. He’s smitten quickly by the too-intelligent Margot, but how to convince a girl who lives entirely in her mind that sometimes life’s answers lie in the heart?
Amidst biological warfare, encrypted letters, and a German spy who wants to destroy not just them, but others they love, Margot and Drake will have to work together to save them all from the very secrets that brought them together.

For the first time ever, one of my new releases is a featured ebook sale! If you haven’t read Barclay’s story yet, now is the perfect time to snag the ebook. Available for a limited time from selected retailers for just $0.79!!! Check out the links below for your preferred retailer.
About the Book
With Danger Creeping Ever Closer,
Do Their Dreams Still Matter?
Once London’s top thief,
Barclay Pearce has turned his back on his life of crime and now uses his skills for a nation at war, including keeping an eye on a talented engineer working as a clockmaker. But not until he rescues the man’s daughter from a mugging does he begin to wonder what his future might hold.
Evelina Manning has constantly dreamed and worked for independence, but she certainly never meant for it to inspire her fiancé to end their engagement and enlist in the army. When the intriguing man who saved her returns to the Manning residence to study clock repair with her father, she can’t help being interested. But she soon learns that nothing with
Barclay Pearce is as simple as it seems.
As 1915 England plunges deeper into war, the race is on for any technological edge, and Evelina’s father’s ideas have captured the attention of many–perhaps too many. As danger seems to encroach from every side, it may just take a reformed thief to steal the time they need to escape.
Below are a few retailers that have the book at $0.79 and $0.99. Please verify the price before you purchase the book as retailers may change the cost.
Happy Reading!

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.
