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.

It's nice to see you here! I hope to see you both at Malice again this year.

So what happened when we walked into that bar? Did we have fun? :)

Thanks, Hailey, and the best of everything to you and yours, too! :)

Have a wonderful--art-ful--holiday! ;)

Hi there! It's been two months and I've been remiss in keeping up with what's happening with you! I wanted to share that we recently had some people join Alaska Sisters in Crime who said they weren't mystery readers, really, until they "discovered" your book at Bouchercon and now they've become mystery fans! So I thank you! Life has been busy. I'm moderating the Alaska Sisters in Crime site, and trying to get my WIP going, and reviewing books for a new publishing house, and was just elected President for AKSinC, and am taking a graduate-level course next semester at the University of Alaska-Anchorage, and trying to keep up with my 7 yr old and husband, and working full time as the state writer-editor for a federal agency in town. Yikes! Life has been dizzy! And add to it, still hearing everything new with these bionic ears (like Christmas carols, oh wow, and the Christmas Pops!)... it's just ... well, I'm speechless. (Sorta, as you can see-ha). So how is life treating you, and still so very, very glad you made it up here! I remember our e-mails before you got to visit for Bouchercon, and I bet your sister wishes she had been able to come, too! All the best for the holidays.

I hope you'll take a peek at my work. I think Chalice's a blast, and hope you will too. Sorry for the late reply; been traveling for business. Looking forward to lots of great chatter.

I loved Dana King's post about how as a society, we're fine with serial killers performing horrible, gruesome acts of violence, but get our collective panties in a bunch about expletives.

You know what I say?

The HECK with them...

Thanks for accepting my invitation Hailey. It's good to see other sisters that share a coast to coast relationship too. I'm only one of five daughters my parents have, but we're also spread across the states from east to west, and in between. I spent most of my years over in Va Beach, but was born out in Ca., so I've been to a lot of places over the years too. :-)

Breathing? I am supposed to do that? Kids pretty much take care of themselves now - brats all grew up on me and I don't even need a sitter these days.

Crimespace is fun but my real time waster is a virtual pub called The Moldy Cockroach, It is an off-topic list and can really keep me not breathing!
