Hi Holly,

 

I hope you are well.  I thought you might be interested in the children's book I wrote called My Body Belongs to Me.  It is intended to prevent child sexual abuse by teaching 3-8 year olds their bodies are private.  Please let me know your thoughts.

 

Thanks.

Hi Holly! I believe Mediabistro will use the sample you submit to determine whether or not they feel you're a good fit for this class. I don't exactly know, though, as they handle that part of the process, so you can ask them if you want more info...

Holly, thanks for your note! I hope you'll take my Mediabistro class this fall-- it should be a lot of fun. Let me know if you have any questions I can answer about it!

Happy Holidays!

On Jan 9th, 2010 by debut novel SUGAR will celebrate it's 10th Anniversary in print!


"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."

Praise for the novels of Bernice L. McFadden:

"Searing and expertly imagined." - Toni Morrison

"Vivid." - The New York Times

"Eloquent..." (McFadden) is a talent worth watching." - The Washington Post

I’m asking that you purchase a copy of SUGAR for yourself, a friend or family member. And yes, KINDLE purchases count.

Please spread the word!
Available at Barnes&Noble and Amazon.com

Peace & Light,

Bernice L. McFadden
