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.

NORM!!!

Great to see you here! Are you going to Magna?

We'll look for you--and November 1st is the deadline for consideration for a panel--so don't delay!

Thanks for adding me! I enjoyed perusing your website.

Yeah, we were definitely in the minority, huh? I am planning on going again... I heard a rumor that they're going to do a humor panel, and I get to be on it.
Et tu?

Hi Norm...it's Maryann from this year's LIM (I was the closet Colt fan). Are you coming again next year?

I don't think I'll make the book fair, but I will be at the Random House Book Fair in Westminster, MD at the Carroll Comm College. Maybe I'll see you there!

LOL....yep, they tell me it's a public forum. But shh, I won't tell anyone!

Nanny 911? My husband BLOCKED it from our tv. LOL And blocked the search for america's next supermodel too...our teenager had that set to record every time it came on!

Hi Norm. Thanks for befriending me. I, too, have been sucked into the reality TV black hole. Top Chef and Project Runway are a couple of my guilty pleasures. There're more, but I need to maintain an illusion of dignity.

There's nothing quite so enjoyable as any type book genre with a bit of humor! I'll be looking for your book. Thank you for the invite!

Hi back, Norm. No.. I wont be at Schaumburg this year.. going to be out of town. I'll be down at Printers Row next weekend though... you?

Hah. Funny. I spent most of my time up on the hill on East Campus. It's been awhile since I've been up there though. My sister is still in Paw Paw and mother in Battle Creek. I'm near Chicago, surrounded by flat land that is rapidly morphing from corn fields to traffic congestion. There's one last cornfield about two hundred yards away with a forlorn, doomed look on its face.

Paw Paw!! My goodness. My husband works for WMU's Residence Life Dept., that's why we moved to Kalamazoo. Small world.

What's sad are the silly reality shows that I get sucked into, like, say, The Real Housewives of Orange County. If I see even five minutes I'm gone for at least an hour.

Survivor's really the only one on main network tv, plus I watch Deadliest Catch, Mythbusters, and Dirty Jobs.

Yao-man was my first choice-he appealed to the geek in me. Earl was next though.

I'm happy for Earl, but Yao-man should have won.
