Hi,
My name is Lynda Coker. I just wanted to introduce myself and share a few links that you’ll find on my blog, BETWEEN THE PAGES. Whether you’re a blogger, writer, reader, or just a person who enjoys surfing the web for great content, I think you’ll enjoy some of these.Have a great year in 2010!
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 if you could help spread the word by blogging, twittering ad Face-booking my campaign, it would mean the world to me.
Thanks for letting me know Nymeth! I tookout the embedded comments and went back to the pop up window, and maybe I will take out the word verification option also--although I hate to as I have had a couple of episodes of annoying spam. Please try commenting again and let me know if it still won't go through. :)

Hi Nymeth :)
Love to have you as a friend, still have to figure out how all this works. I do not remember if I told you I am sending you "MADAPPLE" as part of a belated BAFAB, Nat would rather have "THE BOAT" so it works all out. Will send it in 2 weeks

You did tell me, and again, thank you so much!
Duh...I looked everywhere and it was right under my nose :)
