- About Me:
- I've been writing for several years, and will be publishing this fall (Oct. 10 is the official launch) in an anthology titled A Death In Texas, (L &L Dreamspell is the publisher) My piece is named Dark Pleasures and it is a prequel for the novel that follows... I will also be publishing a second piece entitled Sirens Call in another of Dreamspells anthologies.
I typically write more in the genre of the supernatural thriller... I love to write them, and I love to read them...especially on a night when you can hear the wind havin' a fit outside and light the candles inside and savor the mood:)
I've just returned from living in Australia (Oz) I'll slip that in there because I often refer to it as that and forget to explain the term:)..I was there almost seven years and have been back for about 6 months. Of course, I'm helping the economy, shopping like mad since I've returned... I'm SURE we're due for an upswing any moment!:)

- Books And Authors I Like:
- The Stand, by Stephen King..and several others he wrote..I call him the Mark Twain of horror, because of his beautiful recall of being young...he speaks with and through the heart of a child when he uses them as characters, Dean Koontz, my favorite will always be Watchers because of that wonderful dawg, Anne Rice... who doesn't know the world she opened to us with her interpretation of the vampire? James Patterson..Jeffery Deaver...many others, but it's early and I can't think!;) Where's the java?!

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
