Julia Child: Green Goddess
Posted on September 15, 2009 at 6:58pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
I had a whole lot of fun writing this post for my Seventh Generation blog under the name bethina. I never would have predicted that I'd be inspired by the wonderful "Julie & Julia." But as our foursome strolled out of the movie and passed a brownstone Brooklyn stoop sale, I promptly spotted and snatched up a strand of lovely, real-looking pearls at the bargain price of $3, just like those worn by J & J. ("Voila! Classic repurposing!") The following day, I began reading Child's "My Life… Continue

My latest weekly post on the Seventh Generation site. Yup, I'm "bethina."
In the summer of my 16th year, I ascended to the lofty heights of full-fledged sun goddess. After years in training, including hours of swim team practice in our suburban pool, I climbed the stairs to my throne -- a lifeguard stand -- wearing the prerequisite orange Speedo tank, silver whistle, dark aviators, and, of course, a liberal coating of baby oil. My nose and chest burned those first few days, but who… Continue

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

- Beth,
Thank you! Really, I am so glad you posted that. I've been feeling similar about writing. Actually, I was furious about writing a few days ago and that probably sparked a few fires including that post. I feel like I've been too wishy-washy on my blog and so I'm kicking things up a notch. Also, my anger pushed me into starting a new essay that actually feels worth while. I appreciate your comment on the blog and am going to read your post now!
