Oh my--everything! Seriously,
look at my shelves.
You name a genre,
and I have something in it.
I love classic literature,
I enjoy science fiction,
I adore romance of any variety,
I relish biting my nails in a good suspense or solving a mystery,
there's a special place in my heart for chick-lit,
and nothing tugs at me like a good women's fiction.
Non-fiction? Eh.
I've read some I enjoyed.
Authors I can't get enough of--Francine Rivers,
Nikki Arana,
Trish Perry,
Jill Nelson,
Nora Roberts (hey,
she's a local.
sort of) and a few dozen more.

Don't you just love trying to figure out what total strangers would like to know about you? I'll try to come up with something interesting.
Let's see. First off, I'm a writer--you know, one of those who've been writing stories literally since I could write. I have one novel published, a Biblical fiction entitled A Stray Drop of Blood. (For more info on that, check out WhiteFire Publishing ) or their page here on ShoutLife. WFP is a small publisher just getting off the ground, for whom I also do some editing. You can check out my ShoutLife page for my editing at shoutlife.com/editing. And feel free to visit my website at RoseannaMWhite.com.
My other fashionable hat is reviewer. My husband and I run the Christian Review of Books ( www.ChristianReviewofBooks.com or shoutlife.com/crob ), which is pretty much what its name says it is. I read and review tons of books through the CRoB, and I just started a column called "Between the Lines" that I've used to alternately rant and rave (the good kind of raving) about the books I read and the topics they bring up. I'm also getting into conducting author interviews through BtL. Finally, I've been a member of ACFW for over 2 years, too.
And more personally. . . I live in western Maryland with my wonderful hubby David (married 6 years last June), my gorgeous 2-yr-old daughter, Xoë (pronounced like Zoe), and our new little guy born in February, Rowyn. David & I both attended St. John's College in Annapolis, known as the Great Books school, where we read everything from Aristotle to Virginia Wolfe, philosophy to science. (Guess all those stuffy classics is what has influenced my writing such that everyone apparently thought I was 50!)
Hobbies. . . who has time for them? Between reading and writing and feeding my ever-hungry family, helping with the CRoB, serving as pianist, music leader, and printer for our fledging church (Full Gospel Seventh Day Baptist in Cumberland, MD), and occasionally taking time for luxuries like sleeping, I don't have time for much else. (Just ask the dust bunnies hiding under my couch.)

Today marks the 7th anniversary of my wedding, so I'm laying claim to all sorts of good things today. Of course, back then I was at the beach, chatting with my friends--right about now having breakfast with David, actually. I hate the whole "can't se...

For anyone who hasn't, read my previous blog about the revival striking my hometown of Cumberland, MD. If you don't have time for that, then know this: revival has ignited, and the fire of the Spirit is going to spread!

Since today's the National Day of Prayer, and I'm stuck at home caring for the wee munchkins instead of going out to pray with my town, I thought it would be fun to come together as an online community and share the ways we've learned to pray. My foc...

I was musing about villains the other day and came up with the following. You can read the end of the column at "Between the Lines," just follow the link;-)
What makes a good villain? Is it their dastardly deeds? The maniacal laugh? That dark s...

Jesus feeds the five thousand.- Taking the five loaves and the two fishes and looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. (Luke 9:16-17). In the name of Jesus, you shall eat ,be satisfy and have left over. Go in peace. Amen.
