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.
Awwww!! What a sweetie he is! And great pic, BTW. My lookalike would never let me get pics; the second he saw the camera he'd come over to stick his nose in it!
Hey Karoline -
No, boxing kitty isn't my kitty. Just a cutie I found online. :)
I do have a big orange tabby at home whose job is to eat, purr, get treats and be cute. He's a good worker and excels at his job.
Karoline, thanks for the kind words. You can e-mail me any time at chriskape@adiaryofwastedyears.com. I am also posting some more links relating to the novel. You can check them out, if you get to steal a minute or two. I am happy with the video trailer, but I should have constructed the website in Flash. It would have been much more functional. Maybe I'll do it, when I'll have some time off.
Hope to talk to you again.

What made this book so horrible?

Is that your kitty in your avatar?
Hope to talk to you again.
Back at ya for the friendship! So glad to meet another vampire aficionado. Vampires rock!
