Black Friday is coming up, only one week from tomorrow, and as regular readers of this blog know I’ll be working the floor at the Poisoned Pen Bookstore in Scottsdale, forcing books on anyone who doesn’t get out of the way first. Nothing I like more than turning people on to a good book. [...]week links 11/15/09

I was a reader long before I was writer. There literally aren't enough good books out there to support my habit. Maybe this is ego or vanity, but in that ton of books was a lot of crap. I know that at least some of the time I'm better than that cr...

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.

- Dana - congratulations on your award! That's great news. And while I'm here I just want to thank you for the opportunity to participate in Authors To The Schools. I am having a wonderful time and have so many lovely memories to take home with me - as well as pictures and stories from the children, and gifts from everywhere I've been. When are you doing it again?!?!
