When a picture changes
I'm trying to change this picture of myself to something not at all myself. I'm having trouble with this. I used the "change my profile photo" feature and uploaded the correct photo, but this fuzzy picture of me is still there. Oh well.
Still working on my book. It's still a skeleton, but the skeleton becomes more defined every day. That's encouraging. Imagine a pregnant woman having to create the child within her cell by cell, bone by bone, limb by limb, feature by feature, all on her… Continue

Saint Charbel - some unexpected changes
I did some work on Saint Charbel yesterday, and I'm realizing that
this is turning into something entirely different from how it started.
It's one of those very familiar situations where my book is writing
itself and I'm just trying to keep up. That's when I know I'm on a
roll. I am resenting the usual demands on my time right now, because
Saint Charbel is swirling around in my head. The next thing is that
the title will definitely NOT BE The Murder of Saint… Continue

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.

Thanks for the invite! Word of warning: all those TV non-fic shows like Cold Case Files, AJ, FBI files, etc.? They're addicting. I know this first hand. :-)
