Roseanna M. White has fast made a name for herself penning intriguing historical page turners, most recently around the Edwardian era. I’m delighted to have her return to Relz Reviewz to share some of her favourite things and share a tantalising excerpt from her third and final Shadows Over England story, An Hour Unspent. Thanks to Bethany House, we are giving away a copy so be sure to enter via the Rafflecopter form below.
For now, enjoy getting to know a little more about Roseanna!
Over to you, Roseanna…
*****
Animal
Duck-billed platypus. It’s actually my college’s mascot. We have a toy one that we named Plato…
Rel: So, do tell! How does an Australian native animal find itself the mascot of an American college?!
Artist
My daughter. 😉 She amazes me daily with her skill!
Board Game
Clue
Book
You think I can name just one???
Colour
PURPLE!
Flower
Rose. Because I’m unoriginal and it’s in my name, LOL
Ice-cream
Mint chocolate-chip is my traditional answer. Though if you give me something smothered in hot fudge and brownie chunks, I might defect.
Movie
Book of Eli is one. Love the twist!
Non-writing activity
Reading…or knitting…or playing games with my kids…
Reading genre
Anything with romance!
Season
Spring. Nothing like the first green grass and flowers!
Snack
Either pretzels or popcorn. Or chocolate.
Sport (watch or play)
I am so not a sports person…that said, I’ve developed an appreciation for hockey, thanks to my husband’s love of it. I attended my first professional game last year, and it was pretty cool to feel the energy in the arena!
TV show
The Walking Dead. I am NOT a lover of the horror genre in general, but the characterizations are amazing!
Share a favourite scene from your current novel
Well I think my absolute favorite would have some spoilers, so I’ll post part of my first chapter that love—where the challenge is issued. =)
Thanks so much, Roseanna!

High school was sort of an airplane (though only on occasion; we often didn’t really use a mascot). We were the Flyers, as Charles Lindbergh was born there. As ambiguous as that was, it was unique, and I still prefer it to my college’s St Bernard.

I was homeschooled in high school. So since I live on a farm, I guess our mascot would be a cow or maybe an International tractor… 🙂

Thanks, Roseanna, for the wonderful opportunity to enter a giveaway! Would love to win a print copy of your book! Regarding a high school mascot, didn’t have any, as I grew up in Paraguay, South America, where my parents were Christian missionaries working with a tribe, where I was homeschooled. Because of the unique setting in which we lived in the jungle, my brother and I learned about many things you can’t learn in books: being around many other cultures, contacting and working with a tribe, learning their language from scratch, appreciating good and edifying books, sharing the Gospel with others, and speaking a variety of languages. Now I’m a minister wife in rural Montana! To “Like” my Western art and learn more about me, go to http://www.facebook.com/LualOKrautter

Indians (Waite High School). Our local Walmart has Waite Indians T-shirts.
I like Clue too. I have a special edition that has more rooms, suspects (such as Monsieur Brunette and Miss Peach), and weapons. That’s from the late 80’s.
I like hot fudge on ice cream too. It’s good on Cookies and Cream.

My high school mascot was the Red Raider (bird). My college (Goshen, IN) mascot was the Maple Leaf, which always led to conversations about why we wrote it plural as “Leafs” instead of the proper plural of “Leaves.”
October 21, 2018 at 2:13 pm
Mascott from High School was Tigers. 2nd High School because we moved, it was Mustangs. Oh man, it seems like forever ago!
