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.
I met Ed and Carol in Madison, Wis., when they stopped in at a book signing I had with a couple other authors. He is the nicest guy I've ever met. Several years later, he introduced me to Five Star and the mystery imprint he helped initiate there. If not for Ed, my career would have died off. Best, Mike
I've heard about RMN, but I don't read it, nor do I read the Denver Post. I'm a die-hard Gazette fan, especially because of YourHub.
It sounds like your past would definitely make a good mystery/thriller! Can't wait to read it!
Yes, CS has definitely changed a lot in the last couple of decades since you've been here (I just celebrated my 12th anniversary of moving here on March 22). Powers Blvd. used to be the east edge of town, but now it's getting to be Marksheffel, and even that one is fading fast. We'll be butting up against Kansas before we know it!
I don't do politics so anything faintly resembling that is totally over my head, and even religion is a very sticky subject in this city. My uncle (not Ed) said that Colorado Springs is the "Christian Capital of the United States." I don't know about that, but it's probably pretty close.
I never even suspected that you might be interested. The LCC tends to suck up all one's time, but I should have though to stay a day later.
Ah, well...
I miss seeing you, and you look beautiful.
Hi LJ! I hope being from Colorado Springs isn't a "bad" thing. I don't know if I'll be writing mysteries any time soon--I'll have to leave that genre up to my Uncle Ed.
Hi Stephanie
You're the fourth person on this site I've met from Colorado Springs. You'll be writing mysteries soon. It's something in the water there.
