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.

Waiting to get published can be a hold back for enjoying cons. Frankly, I view them as theropy in this long road to publication. There is nothing like like-minded people to help you over the humps. The lists provide that on a daily basis, the cons brings everyone to life.

Great to meet you in person Annette! Look forward to crossing paths online and at the next con!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you got to meet her. She's a nice girl, isn't she? Or seems that way - I haven't actually met her myself. Amazing how well we feel we know people after 'talking' to them for a few years online, isn't it?

Hi Annette - thanks for the invite! Great stuff on the Citizens' Police Academy. I wish we had such things over here.

Good luck on those two mystery novels. You've reached step one to modern publication--having an agent.

Hi Annette,

Thanks for your comment on my review of Elizabeth Lyon's book. Do you mind if I forward the comment to her?

Best of luck with your novels.

Annette,
I saw your post on SMFS and thought I'd extend an invite. All the best in selling your first two mystery novels!

Hi, Annette. Thought I'd pop over and check out your place. Nice. I also read some of your Citizen's Police Academy reports and enjoyed them. Everyone should go to one of those, then go out and shoot some bad guys. Best wishes for continued success with your writing.

Hi Annette
Good luck with your series. Don't give up, even if your agent does. I wish I could attend your firearms workshop. Sounds fun and informative.

Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome.
