About Me

I work full time at an Engineering Firm (but have a social work degree). I recently started a book review blog and so far I have absolutely loved this community. Everyone is so great! I love just about any kind of read except I am not really into non-fiction. Give me a good mystery/thriller, literary fiction, anything else and I am so happy! Stop by my blog and help me get it going!

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

Alison, I have a question for you. I'm a beginner book blogger, and I recently posted my very first Hachette Book Group giveaway on my blog. I have not, however, heard back from Valerie. Is that normal? Should I panic? I just posted it on Monday. I wanted to know what your experience has been with Hachette, if any. Thanks so much!

Alison (yes, I can't lie, I probably chose you to send a message to because of your name)

Hi Alison, thanks for the gracious and thoughtful review. I am so glad that you liked it. I can't think of any other place to write the review, Amazon and barnes should be fine. If you have any other questions do ask me at any time. Thanks for every thing, do visit www.universalsense.com and download a complimentary ebook if you haven't already.

Best Wishes

Preetham
