"Hello, Siobhan. Hopping up to the SF party sounds like a good plan. Let's be in touch closer to the date and firm up plans. If we get a sudden influx of Monterey SheWriters, I'm very flexible on time/place.
Until soon,
Anne"

"Hello again, Anne!
So far it is just you and I in the Monterey She Writer's June 29 meet-up. If no one else joins us, what do you think of going to the one in San Fran so we can meet a whole slew of somewhat close fellow writers?
If we do meet…"

Can't even figure out how to read your profile to find out about you. It just keeps going to your activity page. I'll get a handle on it. Wonderful to hear from you, Anne.

- Hello again, Anne!
So far it is just you and I in the Monterey She Writer's June 29 meet-up. If no one else joins us, what do you think of going to the one in San Fran so we can meet a whole slew of somewhat close fellow writers?
If we do meet in Monterey, what time works best for you?
Just trying to think about our different options!
Thanks so much,
Siobhan

- Hi Anne,
I am a fellow children's book author and am new to the site. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I look forward to getting to know the members of the board. I am also a prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes in New York City and I received a terrific review that all parents should read and was hoping you would join me in a Twitter and Facebook campaign. Here is the link if you are interested. http://superfunmama.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-body-belongs-to-me-talking-with.html
All the best,
jill

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
