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.

Thank you, Morgan. I lost my daughter two days ago, and appreciate your kind words.

Thank you, Morgan. Yes, I'm new to CrimeSpace and am pleased to meet so many friendly people. I wasn't aware of the SinC "geek" service and am certainly happy to have you as an outline friend. :-)

Hi, Morgan, Sister in Crime. I love humor and sass, which I try to incorporate into all my books. I look forward to reading yours. :-)

Well than, good luck with your endeavors! I write more in the Thriller/Suspense genre'. I do like a good mystery however.

Have a wonderful holiday season,
Kristine

Hello Morgan, No, I don't belong to that group of writers. Although I love living in this area because it's so close to the mountains, ocean, skiing... I would like to come see you speak. Let me know where and when and I'll try and make it. It's wonderful to meet a fellow OR, author.

Warm regards,
Kristine

I ride the Union Pacific. It used to be called the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.
No, I couldn't write on the El. It would be too noisy@

Kinky Friedman! I LOVE him -- both his books and his music. He plays New York every now and then and we always go. You have a lot of humorous mystery writers on your list. I love them, too.

Scary, being caught in fires, isn't it? Our area was devastated by the Ash Wednesday bush fires of 1983 and our neighbours on three sides had the fires go through. I saved our house (my husband and son were kept out by police barricades, just my teenage daughter and her friend at home with me, plus horses, donkeys, dogs).

Hundreds of houses burned, over fifty people died. It was awful. Everyone in the neighbourhood was touched by it, one way or another, so - I had plenty of experience on which to base my book.

Your book sounds like good fun. Good luck with it.

Thanks for the invite! I loved to go to Ashland for the Shakespeare Festival when I was in school. In those days, you dressed up for plays, and I remember struggling into pantyhose in my pup tent. Sigh. I'll check out Tess!
