II would like to call to your attention my historical novel about women in the Bible:
THE TRIUMPH OF DEBORAH
Recently published by Plume/Penguin, it offers a daring interpretation of the riveting tale of one of the most beloved biblical figures: the revered leader, judge and prophetess Deborah, who led her people to war and also to peace.
In ancient Israel, war is looming. Deborah has convinced warrior Barak to launch a strike against the neighboring Canaanites, who threaten their people wi…

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

Did you ever get my book THE TRIUMPH OF DEBORAH? I think I sent it to you, but not sure.

Are you looking for reviewers of any of your books. I love biblical fiction, for it is such an easy way for me to learn so much more about the Bible than what I already know. I would be happy to read and review your book(s), if you are able to send me a copy. I post my reviews on my blog, amazon, b&n, borders, ijustfinished.com, wordstomouth.com and other sites that may attrack potential readers.
Thanks so much!

I did elaborate on the intimate scenes to try and remove the phobic ideals behind those that won't embrace any mention of it.
Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
