I'm in the throes of helping to breathe a bit of extra life into WRDF. Can we be friends? If so, please add me.

Happy Holidays!

You may not know me or my work but I am the author of six critically acclaimed, award winning novels and I have been nominated twice for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. On Jan 9th 2010 my debut novel SUGAR will celebrate it’s 10th anniversary and I hope you will buy a copy or to help commemorate this milestone. And yes, Kindle purchases count!

Praise for the novels of Bernice L. McFadden:

"Searing and expertly imagined." - Toni Morrison

“Bernice L. McFadden is a master storyteller.” Adriana Trigiana

"Vivid." - The New York Times

"Eloquent..." (McFadden) is a talent worth watching." - The Washington Post

Peace & Light,

During 2010 I will be hosting a reading challenge designed to broaden our literary horizons, move us out of our comfort zone, and help us discover new and uncharted worlds of fun and adventure.

“One change makes way for the next, giving us the opportunity to grow.” Vivian Buchen

Join me, and let’s make 2010 the year we help ourselves and others to celebrate the World of Books.

Challenge Guidelines: This challenge isn’t designed to be easy, so the weak-at-heart may want to exit by the side door. For those of you who are still here, let’s get started.

Welcome Michelle,

You'll certainly find a variety of genres and their authors here at WRDF, along with lots of people who don't care to write, but love to read.

So, make yourself at home. And when you get a free moment, hopefully before you upload too much content, please read the information entitled, NEW MEMBERS PLEASE READ, for important content guidelines. You'll find it listed under the Member's Tab. Just a little necessary business to get out of the way, then I encourage you to explore and enjoy the site.

Also, check out our official blog and review site, Between the Lines, and our book discussion blog, LOST IN A GOOD BOOK, which will begin a new round of book discussion October 20th. The featured book information is now posted. So make your book selection and join us for the October discussions. These two sites can be accessed through their quick-link banner on our Main Page.

For all you blog lovers, we've got some new book blogging groups. Book blogs are wonderfully entertaining and informative. Stop over and start getting acquainted with our Book Blogging members.

Just for fun, we have two more new groups: YOU CAN'T COOK and SO YOU THINK YOU HAVE TALENT. Share a recipe or post a photo of your favorite hobbies, etc.
