edit data

H.L. Roethle is a Christian author who has always had a passion for books. She has always loved reading stories, and began writing her own at a young age. Manuscripts – some finished, some not – began to pile up for over ten years until she finally decided to start publishing them.

Her debut novel is The Malleville Conspiracy.

When she’s not writing a book, (or two or three,) she’s reading one…or two…or three…okay, make that a stack. She's also an avid fangirl, (fav fandoms including LOTR, Star Wars, Narnia, BSD, FMA, and Percy Jackson.) She also loves chocolate. And ice cream. And hot chocolate.

She can be found on MeWe as H.L. Roethle. ...more

Is there going to be a Shadow Agents series?

H.L. Roethle Yes! I am not sure at this point how many books there will be; that, of course, depends entirely upon the readers and the inspiration in my head. But …moreYes! I am not sure at this point how many books there will be; that, of course, depends entirely upon the readers and the inspiration in my head. But at present, my plan is at least three novels and a companion book.(less)

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

H.L. Roethle No.1: Write. Everyday, whenever stuff comes into your brain, whether it's the middle of the night or while you're busy eating lunch. If something pops…moreNo.1: Write. Everyday, whenever stuff comes into your brain, whether it's the middle of the night or while you're busy eating lunch. If something pops into your head, write it down.

No.2: Read. Read as much as you can, in every kind of genre that you can. The more you read, the better you write.

No.3: Ask for help. Anyone who has ever written a book has needed to start somewhere. Trying to go it alone will only hurt you, because (especially if it's your first time,) you have no idea what you are doing. Maybe this isn't the case for everyone, but I know when I first started to try and write a book, I didn't have a clue how to do it. I thought you just wrote a bunch of stuff down and then handed it to someone else who would clean up the grammar and slap a cover on it and yippie here's my book! Yeah, no, it's not like that AT ALL. The writing community is vast, and for the most part very friendly and more than ready to help with any question, any problem, literally anything where you need help. So ask, and don't be afraid to ask. We're all in this together. :)

No.4: Never give up. Writing a book can seem like a daunting task, but it is so rewarding. The process might seem long, and there might be times when you ask yourself if it's even worth it. My answer? Yes, it's worth it. It's worth every tear, every sigh, every smile as a spark of imagination hits you, every mind bomb that shatters your original ideas, every word, every sentence, every crazy idea that may or may not work.../it's worth every bloody bit of it./ So keep at it, and don't give up. Your readers will thank you one day. ;) (less)

Merry Christmas!!!

Today, we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who came down from heaven to be born as a human baby to save our sinful souls. I am SO thankful he came, to be born, to die, and to rise again, all for us. We do not deserve such love and mercy, and yet…
