About Me:
I'm a retired travel agent who still loves to travel. My finished novel is the first in The Travel Agent Mysteries. I'm the Docket Editor for the National Sisters In Crime newsletter, In SinC. My book, Downsized To Death, is presently looking for an agent and/or publisher, and is a traditional mystery with a reluctant amateur sleuth trying to save her office and job by finding a missing employee the police think may have murdered their state supervisor. Every thing she learns flows into the murder investigation and puts her at odds with the detective on the case. This is not a travelogue or destination mystery, it is not about a tour escort. It is about the business of a travel agent..

    Thanks, Pat. I'm not sure about Indianapolis yet. Of course, if I sign a book deal between now and then, I'll have more incentive to spend the $$$. So cross your fingers for me.

    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.
