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.

Finished reading Blue Heaven, and I thought it was an amazing read. I love stories with a lot of sub-plots that later tie-in to each other. The story was really well written with great characters, and I enjoyed it very much. I did not interpret it as a put-down of police officers. I interpreted it as a very interesting work of fiction. Finished Winterkill too, and I really enjoyed that one. It had some very sad moments, but so does real life, and that just makes the stories that more believable and something the reader can relate to.

CJ, I love your series & I look forward to making connections at Bouchercon in Indy. Funny I work with an odd character I believe youve met named Steve Pickett, a huge fan of yours. You probably wouldnt forget him. Ha ps I think you met him in Milwaukee. Best Rod

The first book of yours I read was Free Fire and I was hooked. I currently have Blood Trail, Winterkill, and Blue Heaven and am very anxious to read them all.
