I'm a big Chisholm fan. I quote often. I am old enough to remember her running. I hope we chat more and often."

"LaTonya: My father loved Shirley Chisolm. He made sure I wouldn't forget her name when I was a child. Recently I'm becoming familiar with Audre Lorde. She was and is most inspiring. Thank you for the invite and for your posts."

Kathryn said… Hi Ramona! It was so great to talk to you yesterday. I'm plotting out a 5-7 book series about the Barringers. The first book (called Caroline) is about two teenagers who meet at a party and the things God brings them to and through to draw them closer to him and each other. My goal is to finish the second draft of it this year. We'll see how that goes...

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
