Latest Release

Last fall, White Rose Publishing editors became intrigued to find out how many different stories could be gleaned from one basic plot. The result was our Hearts Crossing contest. WOW! Provided with the same cover image and same plot outline, every entry we received was completely unique...just as we suspected. Today, we are pleased to release the winning entry, Hearts Crossing by Marianne Evans. New to White Rose, Marianne is not new to the publishing world, having several titles--and in multiple languages--Marianne is an accomplished author. We're pleased to welcome Marianne into the WRP family, and we think you're going to like what she's done to pull the heartstrings in Hearts Crossing.

“How do you feel about God, Collin?” 
“I don’t.”


Collin Edwards, a former parishioner at Woodland Church of Christ, has renounced God without apology, his faith drained away in the face of a tragic loss.

Daveny Montgomery cares deeply about her relationship with God and the community of Woodland. But lately she's been in a rut, longing for something to reignite her spiritual enthusiasm.

A beautification project at Woodland seems the answer for them both. Daveny spearheads the effort and Collin assists—but only with the renovations, and only because he wants to know Daveny better.

Despite his deepening feelings for her, even stepping into the common areas of the church stirs tension and anger.

Can Daveny trust in Collin’s fledgling return to faith? And can Collin ever accept the fact that while he turned his back on God, God never turned his back on him?

Submission Guide: Christian Gothic Romance
Announcing a new subgenre in to White Rose Publishing: Christian Gothic Romance™


What is Christian Gothic Romance™?


These stories resemble the genre of such authors as Victoria Holt, Barbara Michaels, Mary Stewart, Isabelle Holland and Phyllis A. Whitney, but with mainstream Christian theology intact.  Stories can be contemporary or historical.  There must be a supernatural element, there must be a Christian theme, and there must be a happily-ever-after ending. (See our standard guidelines for general information and story length requirements.)


These are romances surrounded by an atmosphere of mystique in which some or all of the aspects are:


·         A brooding hero with a tragic past

·         A heroine completely out of her comfort zone and in peril (whether real or imagined)

·         A villain who is not as he appears

·         A lonely mansion, eerie castle or other formidable setting

·         A limited number of secretive secondary characters who may or may not help or endanger the heroine/hero

·         A "mad woman in the attic" or similar secondary character who threatens the happy outcome of the story and is attached to a mystery to be solved.  (Mystery must be 50% of the story, romance the other 50%.)

·         An  ancient prophecy

·         Omens or portents of things to come (ultimately orchestrated by God for the good of the protagonists.)

·         A supernatural element

o    The supernatural aspect can encompass:

§  Angel Intervention within the confines of mainstream Christian teachings

§  Demonic activity within the confines of mainstream Christian teachings

§  The gifts of the Spirit according to 1 Corinthians 12:1-14 (Wisdom, Knowledge, Discerning of spirits (human, angelic, demonic), Speaking in tongues, Interpretation of tongues, Prophecy, Faith, Working of miracles, Healing)

§  Apparitions or visions sent by God with an important message

If you’re familiar with the traditional gothic romances “of old,” you’ll remember the tortured, yet completely loveable, hero. He has a tragic past that often includes one or more of the elements listed below
