- About Me:
- A 20-something boy ... living in China ...and I don't mean Taiwan or Hong Kong. I mean the real heart and body of China - Mainland China.
FOR ME ITS DIFFICULT to tell things ABOUT ME as This is a tricky question to answer as I’m not always entirely sure who I am from one moment to the next. In fact, all I'm certain of is that I'm not quite the same person as I was when I first arrived on the Chinese mainland, all those years ago.
it involved in finding an identity, carving a future, meeting a mate, friendship upheavals and job distresses. I write about persevering when all the odds are against you, when every cell in your body tells you that you can't, but you go ahead and do anyway. I luv taking risks and embracing a life of uncertainty.
I have seen things that most people never get to see, and experience events from a perspective that most people do not realize exists. Naturally, I feel a need to tell people about it.
lots of love ......... Dr. Mujtaba

I am the national bestselling, award winning author of six critically acclaimed novels. I was 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!
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

There are actually 3 movies based on Pride and Prejudice. An old black and white classic starring Lawrence Olivier which is not as close to the story line as the two newset ones. One is a miniseries from the nineties starring Colin Firth and the latest is just a few years old starring Keira Knightly. I have both of those and they are great!
The book almost always tops movies to me. But if I need a quick P&P fix I pop in one of the movies!
Thanks for visiting!
I've always wanted to go to China, and one of my best friends, who has an ancestral home there, has been inviting me to go there with her for the longest time.
