So last night I was at Denny’s, working on the notes so I could start Ante Up! today, when I typed out the ideas for the last scene. Even as I typed, I found myself cheering and laughing inside–almost shaking with excitement. then I heard me say this: (please excuse the “road noise”. I was walking to or from the gym).

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Being a spy in WWII must have been harrowing–being responsible for a network of them? Listen in as Roseanna M. White and I talk about her newest release, The Spy Keeper of Marseille.

One thing that always surprises me is how much the German invaders supported the arts. It’s not what you expect during a time of war.

I love how Roseanna shows faith flourishing and growing in times of trouble as well as triumph.

The Spy Keeper of Marseille by Roseanna M. White

In occupied France, a woman becomes a spy for the Resistance and rises to lead the largest intelligence operation in the country in this propulsive new World War II historical novel by bestselling author Roseanna M. White.

Marseille, France, 1941. Zelie Bellerose never fit the mold of an army officer’s wife. She was too passionate in her convictions, too indifferent to societal expectations. After her husband is killed in the war, Zelie focuses on securing a brighter future for her children, hoping to help free her country from the Nazi regime by joining the Resistance. She is soon one of the most trusted operatives in Alliance, and when their leader is imprisoned, she takes command, hiding her identity from all but a few. With enemies closing in, Zelie must earn the trust of her network and prove herself to those who doubt a woman’s place at the helm of France’s largest spy ring.

Marcel Laurent was a renowned concert pianist before joining the French army and being sent to a POW camp. Freed in a prisoner exchange by a wealthy businessman with ties to the Resistance, Marcel agrees to spy for Alliance by conducting a youth orchestra, gathering intelligence from patrons who are loose-lipped Nazi sympathizers. Marcel’s weekly radio broadcasts introducing the orchestra’s performances give him the perfect cover to send coded messages over the airwaves.

As Zelie and Marcel grow closer through their shared love of music, she begins to rely on him. But betrayal from within Alliance puts everything they’ve fought for at risk. When a double agent infiltrates their ranks and the two are captured, their bond faces its greatest test . . . and any misstep could jeopardize not only Alliance but the very outcome of the war.
