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.

Hi Michelle -- Thanks for turning me on to CrimeSpace. And best of luck knocking out that third book! I'm looking forward to reading it.

Michelle. same here, pretty much. Don't panic. Just take it one thing at a time, you'll do fine. I'm revising #5 in my own series, writing a script based on #2, and working on #6. In my spare time, I work full time and stuff like that. Keep it together. You're in charge.

Hi Michelle! How are things?

Lol. Jobs? Oh, boy. Well, I've been a bass player, bartender, Corrections Officer, piano player, pulp wood hauler, Online Editor, guitar player, Editor of Theses and Dissertations, private investigator, English tutor, shoveled sand in a furnace, AT&T Operator, made yarn in a mill, tank mechanic, and other odious manual labors too numerous and spiteful to include. You get the picture.

Okay, I have to ask...Russian Supper Club performer? AndI thought my resume was interesting. I remember one particularly fated night, it was pouring rain, me and one other guy were unloading relief helicopters as they came in to New Orleans, I was telling him all the jobs I'd ever done, and out of the blue, he says, "Lemme guess, you're a writer." I just had to smile. Best wishes, Down in Dixie, Tim

Hello Michelle,

I guess it can turn into overload. I write fiction as well. They are usually the short stories that I submit to try keep the muse flowing and improve my writing. I enjoy the fiction as well as a good scare but the short stories challenges my creativity so it works for me. Do you write in other genres as well?

Hello Michelle. Just sending a note of greetings to a fellow writer. I think I spend as much time reading about serial killers and studying them as I do writing them. take care.

Thanks so much, DK, you're the best! Really appreciate this, and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the books!

Ok Michelle, you made it into my top ten favorite authors list. LOL. I have posted reviews of Bone Yard on Amazon and Shelferi.

I'm 150 pages into Boneyard so far and enjoying every page. I can learn a thing or two from you. Will you be my writing Sensei? LOL. Seriously, I'm loving it.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for becoming my Crimespace buddy--as well as on all those other social networking sites we hang out on. :)

Michelle: You bet I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it. I've been at every one since I started being published (Chicago, 2005) and always had a great time. Hey, I even went to Alaska.

Michelle: Nice seeing you at tfest. I've read BONEYARD and really liked it. The bear with the bone was a great opening touch.

Hope to see you at Bouchercon.

Ugh, I'm so jealous!!! Thrillerfest was great. Was on two panels and had a reading with a fun group of folks at a Borders near the hotel. Still catching up on my sleep...

Hey! We just got back on Sunday - had a blast, got burned (not enough sunscreen application) and I actually got to do some writing (lo and behold...). How was ThrillerFest? Were you on any panels?

Hi Michelle, just wanted you to know that I picked up a copy of Bone Yard today. Can't wait to read it. By the way, is this the beginning of a series?

It's funny you said that. I just picked up a copy of James Rollins Oracle. It's the next book I plan to read after I finish F. Paul Wilson's, The Tomb. Take care.

Hi Michelle, Boneyard looks and sounds great, I'll be sure to buy a copy.
