Good morning, Jean--I'm working on figuring this thing out. It all seems so confusing, but interesting. I didn't make it to the conference as you know by now. I had/have bronchitis and could barely lift my head. I thought about it all day. Wondered how it was going. I had lunch with some BWG friends yesterday and they said it was pretty successful. We plan to improve each year. I'm sorry Tonya didn't come. How is she? No one has heard from her. I tried to send her an e-mail. Don't know if she received it or not.

I've been off and on writing. My imagination is on hiatus. Since becoming a grandmother all I think about is Rosalyn.

How do I add a photo to this thing? Do you have any navigation suggestions? Can I only reply to topics written by my "friends?" I read your profile. Have to agree, Mary Rosenblum is a fine author. I'm taking the novel writing course with her now.

I found, writing my novel, that I didn't really have a clue how to do it. I had to have the guidance. She's just great.

Enough for now. Hope to see you soon, maybe at the December BWG meeting?

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.
