Name One Thing That Kills Your Interest in a Book Immediately

I agree with you 100% Stacy-Deanne. I absolutely like rich description, don't get me wrong. I hate lack of description just as much as extensive description. But I find if the author rambles about ...

scary illustrations in children books

There is a "children's" book that I love called The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey. It is an alphabet book for children, though I would feel inclined to say that it is more than slightly inappr...

How do you handle "Did Not Finish" reviews?

Personally, as a reader, I like to know when books don't live up to expectations. I would hate to read a book review in which the reviewer was not honest about their reading experience and then go ...

Hi Jessica. I saw you on Vampire Freaks and was wondering if my book, Midnight Reflections, might be something you would like to review. It is my first novel and it ntroduces a society where vampires, werewolves, warlocks, and witches freely roam amongst the ordinary humans. One such human, Tara Daston, only wanted a fun night out dancing with her boyfriend. Getting killed was certainly the last thing she ever expected and waking up three days later as a vampire was the last thing she ever wanted. As Tara struggles with her death and new unlife, she also becomes involved in a hunt for a vicious serial killer. During her own investigation into the killings, she meets Tom Duncan, fellow vampire and lead agent of the Preternatural Investigation Agency, who is not at all amused at what he considers to be her interference. However, the serial killer soon takes notice of Tara and is intrigued, forcing her to work together with Tom and the rest of the agency to stop the murders.

Dear Book Lover:

On Jan 9th, 2010 my debut novel, SUGAR (Dutton/Penguin Publishers) 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

Hi, Jessica,
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.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Jo
