I wonder about that a lot myself. Getting from point A to point B for me is hard. I have a learning disability which I hate and I still am not sure what that is because no person has the answer for me but that is beside the point. That makes it hard…
I am reading Sucker Punch. Since this is not the normal kind of mystery I go for I decided because it is summer to try it because a friend gave it for me to read. I am enjoying it.

- Hi, Melanie--
You wouldn't happen to have family in Key West, would you? It's my adopted hometown, having spent many, many years down there, and Wardlow is a big Key West name. The family has been there for many generations, producing a mayor, a fire chief, and other people in important positions.

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.

- Just let me know when you might want some feedback and I'll gladly do it. I'm easy to work with.
My favorite crime novelist is James Lee Burke. Also like Sue Grafton. Tried Baldacci once or twice but he's a little way out for me, not so grounded in reality. Connelly is great. Like Elmore Leonard, Randy Wayne White and the other Florida writers, including Edna Buchanan, etc., and a couple of the Seattle-based authors. Mostly, I like stories set down here in the southeast. Used to read others, but will no longer read any story set in New York City, no matter who writes it. Just sick of the N.Y. thing.

- Hi, Melanie,
Welcome.
I'm a big Kellerman fan, as well. Also love your part of the country down there, used to live in Charleston, in fact, and will visit there this summer.
Have a look at my page and a free read of my test novel, when you might have time.
