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 11:05pm on August 28, 2007, Jeanne C. Stein said…: Many thanks to all who have posted comments. I really do plan to take a more active part in Crimespace. Right now, though, I have a book about half way completed with a deadline of October 31. You all know how that is.

Roger, I met Jeremy Brett many years ago in LA. His wife had just passed away and he had the saddest eyes! I have a picture of the two of us that is among my most prized possessions. We'll definitely speak more of this...

At 7:23am on August 28, 2007, Roger Newbury said…: Hello Jeanne, nice to meet you.
I'm pleased you accepted my invite, I', all for making as many new friends as I can.
I don't know if you've ever watched the UK TV drama series of Sherlock Holmes, I assume it might have been transmitted over there. I think they're a great and very close adaptation to Conan Doyle's original stories. Jeremy Brett plays a mean Holmes, and I've met Edward Hardwicke, who plays Dr. Watson, and spoken to him on the phone, he's read two of my Holmes comedy plays, and he enjoyed them!
Looking forward to chatting with you on this very subject. Take care till then.

At 2:31am on August 11, 2007, Jeanne C. Stein said…: Wow, Lyn, I'm impressed. I'll check out your blog, as well. I'm still traveling for the release of Blood Drive and am just about on my way home-- one more day. Then it's catch-up time.

At 2:38am on August 7, 2007, Eric Stone said…: What about non-gratuitous sex and violence?
