Hometown:
Philly
About Me:
Filamena was raised in the late 1920s, educated privately in a small and cosy cottage in the British country side by Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Of course, not being British, nor having been born yet, she couldn't stay there long. (An early crush on a man named Holmes helped to speed along the escape. He wasn't interested.) So, she hitched a ride on a whaling vessel and headed back to the states. In hindsight, she suspected people named 'Ishmael' were not to be trusted.

Getting into grade school, she immediately found boys and decided that boys were good. Especially if they were made of paper. After more than a few torrid affairs, (Pinhead, Lestat, and Randal Flagg coming to mind) Filamena found her one true love in the form of a boyscout who went by the name of Marlowe. The relationship was doomed, with Marlowe being nearly forty years her senior. It is rumored that she has since been seen stumbling around in second hand stalkings on the arm of a Tyler Durden, but that rumor cannot be confirmed. Also, she is a working writer and mother of one. (Not Tyler's.)

    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.
