Hi Suzanne...Just had to get my two cents posted despite being a week late. I wouldn't be at all surprised if my book, "IGNORANCE BY CHOICE" by Alex Steere (that's me), available at Amazon.com, winds…

Dear Book Lover:I am the national bestselling author of six critically acclaimed novels and have twice been 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 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
Best,
Alex
I was in B&N in Thornton yesterday...a pretty good day. It was my last book signing until December 5th when I'm at B&N in Loveland. How's life treating you?
It went pretty well in Boulder. The weather was a mess driving up there but I just took it slow and easy and arrived "early!" lol
I'm at Borders books in Golden at the Colorado Mills Mall this coming saturday, 17th. Hope you're having a great week.
