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 accepting my friend request. As you say, it is always nice to meet another Hammett enthusiast. You have one heck of a nifty blog going here, by the way!
I work with Eddie at the Film Noir Foundation. I run the myspace page and a little of the Facebook page too. I also write for the foundation newsletter. I've seen your fiction on all the short story sites I contribute to as well and have enjoyed your stuff.
If you ever feel like writing an article for our newsletter let me know. We're always looking for new ideas and different angles on film noir. I just did a piece trying to determine the last noir in the cycle. That was fun. I also do a lot of profiles of the 2nd banana actors who don't often get the spotlight. Those are great fun. Fiction is the most fun though. Nothing beats making stuff up.
Thanks for accepting the invitation. We're always looking for a few good thugs.

Colman,
I see that you are just like me in that you have several books cued, whoops, I mean "queued" up for reading. "The Blonde." It's not as taut as "The Wheelman," though it will still amaze you.
Another story that I would like to add to my recent recommen list is a Bosch short story that Michael Connelly snuck into a collection called "Hollywood And Crime."

You're welcome and thanks for the blog compliment. Have you ever seen Paul Schrader's "Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters?"
