We’re only a few weeks from the official release of A Song Unheard. My copies have arrived, and orders of signed copies from my store are in the mail.
And so, it seemed like the perfect time to share the book trailer! (If for any reason it doesn’t work for you here, you can watch it on Vimeo.)
A Song Unheard ~ Book Trailer from WhiteFire TV on Vimeo.
I’m so excited to share this with you!! Here’s the scoop on it.
- A year ago, I ran the Song Unheard Contest, in which people could submit a melody that would become “Willa’s Song.” My daughter and I chose 3 finalists, and then the public voted on their favorite, and y’all chose the song you hear featured in the video, composed by Jessica Brand.
- My friend Harry Burchell III graciously saved me some time and transcribed Jessica’s beautiful melody into sheet music.
- The amazing Taylor Bennett performed and recorded said music on the violin.
- My wonderful English friend and beta reader (who checks my books for Americanisms for me) Elizabeth recorded the voice-over.
- My awesome husband of WhiteFire Media produced the trailer.
Wow, that’s a lot of people who participated and helped me create this! Hence why it’s no surprise how much I love it. Thank you to all who submitted songs for the contest or voted on their favorites, and even bigger thanks to those who brought it to life!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! And if it does its job (ahem) and makes you want to rush out and buy the book, you can find it here:

Book clubs = fun. At least I think so. 😉 So I’m being a bit experimental with my Facebook Live program and seeing how it goes to run an online book club discussion there as a video! Now, there’s a bit of lag between writing of comments and appearance of comments in my feed, so I’m thinking the best way to have a good conversation is to have a few people actual TALKING about the book. How? Skype! Through the magic of all that technology stuff, we’ll be having a panel of talkers right there in the video feed with me.
We’ll be going through the discussion questions in the back of the book…and following any rabbit trails we might get distracted by. 😉 Interested in joining me via Skype? If you’ve read Giver of Wonders (or can do so in the next week) and want to be part of the fun, let me know!
Requirements:
1. You’ve read the book
2. You have Skype
3. You’ll be available between 6-8 p.m. next Monday, 4 December
If that’s you, then let me know! You can either comment here (with contact info please) or shoot me an email at roseannamwhite@gmail.com and I’ll be in touch. (If by chance I get more volunteers than we can handle, I’ll choose by a combination of who contacted me first and what will build a well-rounded group.)
If this goes well, I’ll be doing it for ALL my book releases and others upon request! So you could have a chance to join me for other books even if you can’t on this one!
Even if you can’t join me through Skype, I hope you can join me for the discussion in the comment section of the video!

I announced this Monday via Facebook Live, but in case you didn’t see it there, I’ll share here too! Lots of exciting news in my world. =)
I’ve signed two new contracts that will be keeping me quite busy. First of all, another series with Bethany House! This one is called The Codebreakers and is about England’s cryptanalysts of World War I, referred to as “Room 40.” For fans of my Culper Ring Series, this will have some similar elements to the spying and codes we all loved there, but combine it with the world of my English-set books. In fact, you’ll be getting a sneak peek into The Codebreakers’ world in A Song Unheard and An Hour Unspent! Needless to say, I’m super excited to get to work on this one! Room 40 achieved some amazing things during the war, and I can’t wait to incorporate them into my novels. =)
But that’s not all I’ll be writing! I also signed on with Guideposts to work on one of their continuity series. These are available to Guideposts subscribers only, but if you get the magazine, you’ve no doubt seen their offers for their books. I’ll be joining with 7 other authors on a series called The Secrets of Wayfarers Inn, set in modern-day Marietta, Ohio as three friends open a B&B in a historic inn and discover mysteries connected to its being a stop on the Underground Railroad. History loving me is really looking forward to combining secrets from the past with a tale set here-and-now. =)
And my Facebook Live Season Two will be beginning on Monday October 16! Big thanks to everyone who filled out the survey asking what you’d like to see in Season Two–based on your recommendations, we’ll be starting out with some deeper diving into history. The Culper Ring will kick us off, since everyone responded so well to it during my Book Chats.
Hope to see you on Facebook next Monday at 7 p.m. EST!

I’m happy to announce, if you haven’t seen it yet, that I’ve participated in a collection of devotionals that bring out the faith messages in our fiction. Each of the 10 bestselling authors in this little e-book have chosen two of their stories and begin their selection with a short quote from them, then expound on the faith message behind it, summing it up with the Scripture that inspired it.
Faith from Fiction is now available for $0.99, so go grab your copy and dive into reflection on the Word to be found in our stories–because we all know fiction is the best way to learn. 😉 All profits will be donated to Samaritan’s Purse!
The authors in the collection include:
Melanie Dickerson
Janice Hanna Thompson
Leah Atwood
Christy Barritt
Heather Blanton
Lynnette Bonner
L. N. Cronk
DiAne Gates
Jenn Faulk
Roseanna M. White (hey, I know her!)
You can find it at (I’ll post the other links as they go live):
Amazon | Barnes and Noble | iTunes
And if you think you recognize the hand of the cover design, you’re right. 😉 I volunteered my services for the cover and had fun creating it. We decided on autumn colors because, well, it’s autumn, LOL. Here’s a larger version…
We hope our inspiration blesses you!

It’s my book’s birthday! Just wanted to pop onto the blog real quick to say
“Welcome to the world, A Name Unknown!”
She’s Out to Steal His Name.
Will He Steal Her Heart Instead?
Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins that
helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now,
they are no longer pickpockets–instead they focus on high-value items
and have learned how to
blend into upper-class society. Rosemary is beginning to questions
whether she can continue in this life when she’s offered the challenge
of a lifetime–determine whether
a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany. After
all how does one steal a family’s
history, their very name?
As Europe moves ever closer to World War I, rumors swirl around Peter
Holstein. Awkward and solitary, but with access to the king, many fear
his influence. But Peter can’t help his German last name and wants to
prove his loyalty to the Crown–so he can go back to anonymously writing
a series of popular adventure novels. When Rosemary arrives on his
doorstep pretending to be a well-credentialed historian, peter believes
she’s the right person to help him dig through his family’s past.
When danger and suspicion continue to mount, both realize they’re in a
race against time to discover the truth–about Peter’s past and about
the undeniable attraction kindling between them.

After a very long wait, I’m thrilled to announce that The Reluctant Duchess is finally available in audio format!
I’ve had SO MANY inquiries about this from fans who prefer audio books and were confused by the fact that books 1 and 3 of the Ladies of the Manor were available, but 2 wasn’t. Happy to report that my publisher prevailed, the long wait is over, and you can now hear Liz Pearce putting on a Scottish burr. 😉
Thus far I haven’t located it in any other retailers, but I’ll update the post if I find other listings. =)
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.
