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.

Your editor is in *Creston*? For Christmas? Or for punishment? Just kidding. Creston is not far, you're right. Not sure where it is, exactly, though!

And, yes: we'll thank Ms. Thea. Nice to get to know you!

Hey Peg, as a matter of fact I am on the DorothyL. loop but I never post. Just read and soak up their wisdom. :)

Hey Peg,

Like your blog. Does it count as part of your daily writing time?... ;)

Hi Peg -- wrote you a nice long note and then hit the X button and deleted it. Ah! Was intrigued you were from Colorado. I lived there before coming to Alaska to marry the man I now live with. Was in Dolores. We're still in recovery mode after hosting a few hundred friends and then escaping to the beach in Homer with more, just getting life back to normal. One good thing is with all that work, I did get used to computer time daily, so have been whizzing along on the book, so that's great. My pup went East -- she flew to NY with author Jessica Speart this past weekend -- permanently. I miss her like crazy, but know she's happier since she is with people all day. Looking forward to updates on Colorado. -Karen

Thanks....much appreciated. Colorado has some outstanding writers and I'm just glad to be out there in the mix. Glad? Uh, thrilled is more like it. Thanks!
