Diary of a Phenomenal Woman(2) - Bliss...NOT!!!
Posted on April 17, 2010 at 12:03pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Ok, so I composed this self-proclaimed absolutely awesome, absolutely pretty and peaceful post this morning. It was early in the morning, on a glorious rainy Saturday morning, as I was listening to Beethoven’s “For Elise”, while my little family was asleep. The silence was utterly supreme, a magical moment that inspired me so much that I even entitled the blog post I was then composing “Bliss.” It was all perfect, this incredibly stable balancing act between motherhood, marriage, my love for… Continue

I was thinking of a title for my blog, one that would be loud and clear enough to call my name back to it as often as possible, one that I would not forget, like I did all my unfinished scattered pieces of writing here and there. A resonant drumming sound, one which would cadence my body, heart and soul into a constant, daring, continuous writing dance.

Hi,
I'm a writer, at heart, at soul...Yet I haven't written for the longest time, the pen and blank canvas of paper haven't been my companions on this journey of life for quite some time...
I signed up to be a member of SheWrites back in December of 2009, and this is my first post. As I take a deep breath and delve deep into the sea of my writing consciousness, I realize that this will be a process involving more than just mere creativity and richness of mind, soul, and heart.… Continue

Bernice L. McFadden said… - Happy Holidays!
You may not know me or my work but I am the author six critically acclaimed, award winning novels and I have been nominated twice for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. On Jan 9th 2010 my debut novel will celebrate it’s 10th anniversary and I hope you will buy a copy to help commemorate this milestone.
"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
“Bernice L. McFadden is a master storyteller.” Adriana Trigiana
"Vivid." - The New York Times
"Eloquent..." (McFadden) is a talent worth watching." - The Washington Post
Peace & Light,
Bernice McFadden
