Bernice L. McFadden said… - Dear Book Lover:
You may not know me or my work, but I am the national bestselling, award winning novelist of six critically acclaimed novels who has been twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction
On Jan 9th, 2010 my debut novel, SUGAR will celebrate its 10th anniversary and in order to commemorate this milestone I am campaigning to sell 10,000 copies between now and that date.
“Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying.”
I’m asking that you purchase a copy of SUGAR for yourself, a friend or family member. And yes, KINDLE purchases count.
If you could help spread the word by blogging, twittering ad Face-booking my campaign, it would mean the world to me.
Peace & Light,
Bernice L. McFadden

I have in my possession a great treasure, dear lady reader, that will change the way you have sexual relations with his lordship. I shall tell you what it is after I explain to…
This was just so beautiful. I truly related to the efforts to find sources of comfort - like God - and what happens when that fails.
I hope to read more of your writing, because it was very enjoyable.
You might want to check out Julia Glass' wonderful book of linked short stories: I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE.
Kathryn,
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story. It must feel good to write it all down as opposed to an unhealthier alternative. I can relate to your story on many levels...Good for you Kathryn! Well done!
This just broke my heart. I have so much respect for what you do.
It's so hard, because everyone (especially children) behaves a certain way for a reason - but when they're irritable and grumpy it's hard not to let that affect your behavior.
Thank…
