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 Terry! Remember me from USMC and Beaufort, SC. We had some good times back then, you came home wth me to Indiana once. Looks like you have not been on here in awhile. Hope you see this sometime and your doing well. my cell no. is 812-525-2812 give me a shout if you get the chance,

Thanks for reading it. I'm not much of a short story writer but the HELL OF A WOMAN story is one of my better efforts.

Terry,
Glad you enjoyed my story and thanks for the support and invite. BTW your authors list rocks!!!

Hi Terry
I see that Michael Connelly is at the top of your list too.
What did you think of The Overlook?

I took two runs at *Fortress of Solitude*. Still in the To-Be-Read pile, but towards the bottom now.

I like your author list (sounds like mine!). I'd like to recommend you take a look at the late, great Fredric Brown. Also James Sallis' *Drive* is brief, but masterful.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the invite. I would like to attend Killer Nashville next time. I am building a summer place 90 miles east.

Not sure if you've read *No Country for Old Men* but it's another of Cormac McCarthy's winners. The last 40 pages have little to do with the story, but they do explain the title. Because of his strong writing, I couldn't stop reading until I reached the end.

Your choices of writers, terrific, movies, not too shabby either. I've been trying to get a DVD of *Memento,* but none of the local Blockbusters have it.

Terry, as a fan of all of those guys, I hope you know about the Yahoo list Rara_Avis ... excellent discussion about hardboiled and noir.

Terry, I'm more likely to travel to Nashville than Ft. Lauderdale, but thanks for the information. Maybe I'll see you there next year!

OK, what's Killer Nashville? Is this something I should know about and attend? I write romantic suspense.

Hi Terry. About Lulu and my efforts to publish Eureka Point through traditional publishing methods. Well, I sent my manuscript to Publish America and it was accepted, but I have not signed the contract because I heard some very negative things about them. I was going to go with Authorhouse, heard a lot of good things, but I could not come up with the almost $800.00 to do it (yet). So I thought maybe I'd just take the Lulu route just to get it out, but I'm unsure at this point what is the best thing for me to do. Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! Betty Ann

Great! I'll look for you.

Hi Terry. If you get a chance, stop my workshops while you're at the conference in Columbus. I'm presenting two on Friday and one on Saturday. I'm also on a panel on Sauturday.

I forgot to ask - what is Bad Lt.?
