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.
Yes.. the hot flashes suck big time!! Another reason to believe that God is a male persona!!LOL!!! SHE wouldn't do that to us!!!! & I also believe most labs are absolutely, wonderfully insane..some of the BEST dogs you could ever have..altho, we had a rottweiler someone dumped out here(dumping animals out in the country is one of my pet peeves!!no pun intended!!)who was one of the best dogs I have ever had. & such a big baby..he wouldn't have ever hurt anyone..he was such a lover!!!
LOL!! That's right..if nobody read there wouldn't be a need for ya'll writers!!! I actually lived in Grand Prairie for a year or so in 1979 or threabouts!! My sister had an out of state boyfriend & the first time he called after we moved there he wanted to know if it was!!(a Grand prairie!!), but alas no, all the cotton fields were all plowed under & it's a big city now!!!
