My nephews Lee and Tod Goldberg also write books, so they must be on the list.

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.

At 3:07pm on September 26, 2008, Burl Barer said…: Peter Chris of LEAP was far more amusing than I ever imagined. You really should hear this guy..in fact, if you are already here, you are hearing him on my show right now. The videos of Peter on YouTube are also excellent.

At 7:59pm on September 16, 2008, Burl Barer said…: FRED ROSEN! I met Fred in Philly at BCon back in 1996 when his book Lobster Boy was a hot item. Now days, the diadem of success has crowned all his efforts in both contemporary and historical true crime. Fred graciously consented to put up with my nonsense and Don Woldman's pithy questions and commentary when he joined us on the air Saturday the 13th ...that's the show you hear playing right now on my CrimeSpace player.
Not only is fred an excellent author, he is a super guy. If you must choose between buying Fred's books or my books, buy mine. Friendly generosity only goes so far, and we both need to make a living. Okay, buy both.

Thanks for befriending me here on Crimespace. I'm always interested in seeing what other mystery/suspense authors have to say about the promotion side of the business.
