Giveaway Day 1: Win Gathering of Waters!

Gathering of Waters is the latest from Bernice McFadden. Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River, said of it: "As strange as this may sound, Bernice L. McFadden has created a magical, fantastic novel centered around the notorious tragedy of Emmett Till's murder. This is a startling, beautifully written piece of work."

Bernice has offered to give a signed copy to one lucky blog reader! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below. Using Random.org, I'll pick a winner. One entry per person. All comments left before midnight Eastern will be eligible to win. The winner will be announced tomorrow. If you don't win, you're free to enter the next day. Good luck! Come back tomorrow to enter for a copy of Creatures Here Below by O.H. Bennett.

Bernice's tour kicks off this week. Check out this video of her reading from the first chapter.

    This book is on my "must read" list. Her novels, "Nowhere is a Place" and "Glorious" are two of my favorites.

    The story of Emmett Till is one that needs to be kept alive. Many thanks to Ms. McFadden and to WRMBA for hosting this event.

    Sounds like another great read. I read all of Ms. Mcfadden's book. Sugar was one of my favorites :)
