"Woah. Hang in there, Lydia. Don't despair. With three boys of my own, I know how it is. Three year olds and novels are not exactly compatible bedmates. Do what I did. Invest in preschool. Three days a week for a few hours each day is good for…"

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 Veronica! Thank you so much for being here, and for doing the "Five Questions" with Marilyn. There was some kind of mix-up about the intro, and Marilyn resent it, so we are leaving the interview up for another week. It's wonderful and so perfect for these early days of SHE WRITES, especially as it sprang from the Middlebrook salon. I know you are in Hawaii but hope to "see" you here when you return.
Warm best,
Kamy
