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'm new here. A young lady by the name of Krystal Waters invited me to crimespace. I write poetry, mostly freestyle and what ever comes to mind at the moment of where and what ever I'm doing. I love to write. I don't know what I would if they too the pen and note book away from all of us.
Anyway, making my rounds here and there. Stop by when you can Michelle Martin and all your friends.

I see where you like Confederacy Of Dunces. Something I never read but always planned to, just never got around to it. Maybe I will, now that you've reminded me of it.
Coincidentally, I remember in the early 70s, on Tom Snyder's show, and after the author's suicide, his mother was promoting the book. It was a sad story, as I remember.
Right now, before publishing it, I'm having a few of my crimespace friends, among others, read my novel, FOUL SHOT. It's a freebie, and there's a brief synopsis on my site. The whole ms should be up in a few days, if I can get the computer part right.
Until then, if interested, I can send it over as a document. Just email me at coastar2002@yahoo.com.
Either way, welcome, and thanks.
If I send you a copy and you like it. Then I set a book signing in Anchorage and I get to see Alaska!
And yeah, you'll hate Dr. Conger, trust me (I'm a lawyer ;>)
Good luck with your books.
Cheryl
