Welcome to the official Website for author, columnist, blogger, and independent Christian publisher, Michael L. White, not to be confused with another somewhat popular author and professor, L. Michael White, whose name usually appears alongside mine (sometimes ahead and sometimes after) and whose books are confused with mine on Amazon and Goodreads, or with a host of other people by the name of Michael White, including a children's author whose books have also been confused with mine on Amazon. My bubble burst a long time ago in thinking that I was uniquely named in this world. In fact, I am even contemplating switching to a variation of my name or perhaps a pen name to distinguish myself from these others. We shall see, but for now, I am still using the name of Michael L. White.
On this site, you can read not only about all my writing and publishing endeavors, but you can also learn how to succeed as a writer and independent publisher yourself. Just glance over the menu at the top or bottom of each page to decide where you want to go next. Have fun exploring!
Parson Place News and Views: This is my personal blog site where I write about practically anything that interests me. Your comments are welcome, so long as they are pertinent, fair-minded, and respectful. Spam will be deleted without response.
Additonally, I have recently started two other blog sites. One, entitled Author As Entrepreneur, is devoted to the business of writing and publishing and the marketing and promotion of writing and publishing. The other, entitled Health and Wealth Wise, is devoted to providing wisdom for acqiring and maintaining a healthy and wealthy lifestyle in accordance with biblcal standards. I hope you will check out each one to see what it has to offer. If you think you might be interested and qualified to contribute to either one, guest blog submisions are welcome, whether you are known or lesser-known in either field. I am also willing to write a guest blog post for any other bloggers who may be seeking guest blog articles for their respective blogs. Just reach out to me via the contact page on either blog.
I have decided to begin writing freelance articles for various Christian magazines. Perhaps at least one of them will be interested in taking me on as a regular contributor as I was for the now defunct Christian Computing Magazine from May 2011 until February 2015 (if my memory serves correctly). They sold out to Outreach Magazine a little over a decade ago, which then merged most of the content with one of their subsidiary magazines, Ministry Tech, which was absorbed by their subsidiary, Church Leaders, a year or two ago. Some of my past articles on digital evangelism used to be available on the Ministry Tech site, but, alas, no more, nor have I been able to find an archive of them.
I'm currently working with my pastor, Jacob Maloney, while he writes his first novel. The story is set in biblical times during the period of the judges of Israel. He's doing the actual writing, while I am consulting and editing as we go. It's going to be both entertaining and insightful. I'll be sure to announce its release here, as well as on my email lists and pertinent blogs, when it is finally available for purchase.
I'm also writing on a novel of my own, though it is not a high priority for me right now. With so many other time commitments in my life, I am hard-pressed to make time for much creative writing, but I will work on it intermittently until I complete it, God willing. I'll be sure to announce it to the world once it's ready for release, so stay connected with me for all the latest news.
Besides writing on this novel, I am also planning on updating my books Digital Evangelism and A Publishing Panacea, as well as starting on another nonfiction title, throughout this calendar year. I anticpate releasing them sometime in the first half 2026. I haven't decided yet on which nonfiction topic I'll be working on next, but I'll make it known once I've started on it.
Speaking of remaining connected with me, if you would like to receive periodic updates from me on all my various endeavors (personal and professional), I invite you to subscribe to my email list (which covers everything I'm involved with, including my pastoral ministry, writing, publishing, and software development endeavors). I will announce all my news from there whenever I have something important to share.
