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.
Dinah,
I would very much like to review A Visit From Voltaire. I tried to send an email with my mailing information, but it was sent back with an error message. Would you please e-mail me at: knittingmomof3 (AT) gmail (DOT) com I would appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Jennifer

Hi, Dinah,
I just visited your website (which is very interesting) and wanted to invite you to post your poetry, book reviews, excerpts from your book(s), etc., on my Writers Life network. Just post them through the Contact Us page at www.freewebs.com/thedesertwriter and I will get them on the website. I've always believed that there is no such thing as too much good publicity.
You might like to read an interview with me by Carol Denbow and see what I'm all about. It's on my website, too.
