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.

Rich,
Did you ever think about doing a humorous book based on jokes about, or centered on Peoria? Clearly there's a market, in that everyone relates (demographically) to Peoria whether they've been there or not?

Welcome, Rich. Dabble away ;-)

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. And don't forget to tip your waiter.

(Women always have to have the last word.)

I'll have to check out both. I'm a fiction editor as well as a novelist, and I'm currently working through a sci-fi manuscript. It's been great exposure and is making me look at other genres besides mystery/crime/thriller.
( and I have tattoos but they're girley ...)

My niece has winnie the pooh on her big toe. Its cute.
I worry about the spiritual connotations. I've read some creepy stories about evil spirits being attached to them.

Thanks Rich,
Lovecraft's a cool character, and anyone who thinks so is pretty cool too. I'll be sure to check out your web page. Some of your favorites I'm familar with, a couple are new to me.

Hi Rich
I've never heard of Lovecraft, nor have I read Clive Barker or any of your favorite authors (except Stephen King, who is the first I author I feel in love with), but I thought I would say hello anyway. And good luck with your writing.

I'm not usually impressed with tattoos, but that one looks pretty neat. Its excellent for the imagination.
