 Publisher's Weekly said, "This refreshing, smart caper novel will appeal to anyone who loves well-plotted mysteries and funny, off-the-wall characters.”  …

Internet crushing your writing self?

Posted on March 15, 2011 at 6:47pm 0 Comments

A fun mention in a WSJ blog today http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2011/03/15/novelists-hunt-for-workplaces-without-wi-fi/# but seriously, I find the internet is crushing my work habits and thought processes. Is Self Control software enough?  How are people coping?

Three things I recognized and accepted while writing a sequel (to Super in the City) in 2009

Posted on January 4, 2010 at 1:22pm 9 Comments

1) Instead of being embarrassed by my various random, messy ways of pseudo organizing characters, plot lines, and ideas, I decided to accept this chaotic mix as My Method. It’s amazing what capital letters will do to validate one’s habits. Sometimes I start a wall chart (hidden on the wall of my closet) with post-its, sometimes I use my notebook, sometimes I outline on the computer: instead of letting this make me feel unprofessional and uncommitted to a method, I recognized that this mélange… Continue

Hi Daphne,

I wanted to connect with you and ask for your feedback. I recently did my first on-camera interview for the children's book on child sexual abuse prevention that I wrote, My Body Belongs to Me. Please let me know what you think when you have some time.

Thanks in advance.

Daphne, I'm a fiction writer and new member of She Writes. How do I join the fiction writers group?

Dear Daphne:

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 and Face-booking my campaign, it would mean the world to me.


Peace & Light,

Bernice L. McFadden

Hi Daphne, I tried to add a discussion to Fiction Writers, but it didn't show up. Is there a lag time, or should I try posting again?
