I am a computer programmer for a large aerospace company in the Pacific Northwest and I am just someone who loves reading! I especially love mysteries and True Crime. I live with my wonderful husband, two grown children (who are in and out) and two dogs.

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.
Rosanne, Thanks for your interest. 13 Days has received good reviews. With $120/bbl oil, it's timely.
The Shorts are fun, too. But of course I think that...

Hi Rosanne
I love Seattle and visit there about once a year. I only do stand-up here locally for fun. And we lost our venue last year, so it's been awhile. I'm guest blogging today at Bookbitch.
> Your book looks very exciting! Will it also be available in the US in November? I'd love to read it!br />
At the moment it's only available as a UK import from amazon.com, but I'm hoping as it gets closer to publication that I'll be picked up by a U.S. publisher. It does seem odd that even though it's a US-based thriller, it was bought first by Bantam UK. Of course, the same thing happened to Robert Crais and others, so here's hoping ;-)

Thanks for accepting--and glad you enjoyed the books.
We've been gone from the Seattle area for two years.
