hey anne, digging your profile pic/calling card - thanks! looking forward to seeing more of your work

Welcome, Anne---

And Happy New Year, everyone!

We can meet face to face (as I hope to meet with the "other Anne" when I come to New York--
probably for pre-publication meetings about my novel--out this spring.

It would be great to have you stop by the group.

Best,

Thaisa

Dear Anne,

Thanks for the welcome! I'm just getting my feet wet and learning about the resources here at SheWrites.com. Are there any particularly lively groups you could recommend? I'm also looking for other writers based on Long Island -- I'd love to find a group that meets face-to-face sometimes. So old-fashioned!

Anyway, thank you again for the welcome. Happy holidays.

Anne Michaud

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
