You look around on newbie boards and find people sweating over whether or not you can have two "protagonists". (Writers would be FAR, FAR better off never having heard that word by the way--and damned if I've ever seen any way the word can help anyb…
Oh, yeah~~~I've read a heap of that, too, mostly from popular authors who keep writing after they are out of stories to tell. Regardless--comparing self-pubbed to mainstream--the latter remains a far superior product.

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.

This book pulls no punches. It shows you the dark side of police work: the good, the bad and the ugly (warts & all), both the humor and the tragedy.

Hi, Linda,
You still with us here?
Please have a free read of my introductory P.I. murder mystery novel, FOUL SHOT, here on my page in pdf. It's set here at the beach in North Carolina and involves the killing of a famous women's pro athlete.
See if you can spot the killer before Page 300, without looking in the back.
Happy reading.
