i have a copy of my debut fiction work, titled Let Slip the Dogs of Love, for anybody interested in receiving it, my compliments, to review. it's an "urban legend" anthology of short stories that defies characterization, fusing a number of genres. y…
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.
I figured the desert sunsets would be great in the spring. I spent a week in the barren playa for Burning Man, and saw some nice ones. Can't decide if I like them better than the Lake Tahoe sunsets, with the reflection on the lake and all, different, but equally beautiful.
I wrote a first person article for the newspaper about my Burning Man experience, check it out if you have a minute:
The book Conference is May 25 - 28th. Just google Book Expo America, and you should be able to figure all your stuff out. I plan to start the trip at the begining of May, when the chair lifts stop running and the spring flowers are blooming. It will be a beautiful ride.

Are you from NYC like your publisher? I am planning on heading out there in late May for the Book Expo America conference. I just got a motorcycle running, and am planning on making a 2 - 3 month trip out of it.

I am still finishing up edits from my two editors. Although I have sent out early draft copies to people as an ebook. I have it set up to POD print through Createspace.com which is owned by Amazon. I don't have a publisher yet, but am hopefull that I might find a good one, and even if left on my own, I am able to do it well enough to make a few bucks and travel. Who are you publishing with?

"Shut up and Skate" - You should make that your own T-shirt on Cafe Press, or Spreadshirt, and then have it for yourself. - Oh, and how do I get a copy of your book? an ebook email would be alright.

Check out the website www.ForJoyandWisdom.com , I am set up to self publish so far, but a best selling author is trying to hook me up with an agent, so who knows how it will end up going.
