On Wings of Devotion with Roseanna M. White q&a

Hello, reader friends! We’re visiting with Roseanna M. White today as part of a JustRead Publicity Tours blog tour celebrating her new release, On Wings of Devotion!

 

q&a

What is your favorite activity or hobby not related to books?

R: I love designing book covers…though that’s more second career at this point than just-for-fun. As hobbies go, my favorite non-bookish one is probably knitting.

B: You’ve got it bad, Ro… that first one IS related to books. 

Share an interesting background tidbit about On Wings of Devotion.

R: These characters are actually in their third story! When I originally conceived Arabella and Camden, they were in Jamaica during the glory days of the pirates. Camden was, of course, the most feared pirate of them all.

That story never got past a few chapters, but several years ago I was trying to come up with a Regency idea to pitch and decided Cam and Ara would make great Regency characters. I wrote a few chapters of them that way…then ended up moving into Edwardian instead.

But hey, why let go of good characters?? I decided to give them one final home—World War I England, where Camden is now a pilot instead of a pirate, and Arabelle is a nurse. Love how they turned out!

B: I’m definitely going to be picturing Camden as a pirate-pilot now, lol!

What book(s) are you reading right now?

R: A Pursuit of Home by Kristi Ann Hunter in fiction, The Thrill of the Chase by Forrest Fenn in non-fiction, and The Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis in my quiet time. Next up in the fiction world is Fire Storm by Nancy Mehl.

B: Great variety, I love it!

What is your reading style?

R: In general, I love a good paperback. I do use a tablet to review manuscripts for my publishing company or read books by my author friends for endorsement. And I’ve just gotten into audiobooks in the last year and a half, as incentive to make myself exercise, LOL.

B: I need to figure out a way to trick myself into exercising while reading.

What is your next release and/or what are you working on now?

R: Next up is the final book in The Codebreakers series, A Portrait of Loyalty, which should be coming next September. And I’m excited that I’ll have a stand-alone between this series and my next, called Dreams of Savannah, which should be hitting shelves next December-ish (obviously set in the American South, given the title, ha ha—Civil War era).

I’m just getting started on writing my new series, though, which begins with The Nature of a Lady. This one is set earlier in the Edwardian era on the gorgeous Isles of Scilly off the coast of England and is going to be so much fun!

B: Oh my goodness, so many wonderful stories on the way!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us, Roseanna!
