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.
Kelli -- Thanks for the invite! It's nice to meet another Bay area writer. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to talk one of these days at an MWA Norcal meeting.
Nox Dormienda sounds really intriguing. And what a cool blurb from Ken Bruen!
It was GREAT meeting you and I just finished Nox Dormienda. It portrays the times and mix of cultures exactly as I pictured them when I was taking high school latin. I LOVED it! It fulfilled all of my expectations, and more. I love your smart-ass voice and your characters, and can't wait for more. Come back this way again soon and LOOK ME UP!!!!! Thanks, Kelli!

Well then, I may have to try and dig out the ol' fedora before B'Con.
A whole closet full huh? That's a lot of hats.

I have a fedora too, but it's not really my trademark. It's just a cool hat.

Sounds like it's going to be fun. Should I just seek out the fedora? ;)

Thanks for the add Kelli. I just added Nox Dormienda to my TBR. I'm looking forward to this "Roman Noir." And I hope to run into you at Bouchercon.
I'm just glad I'll get a chance to meet you so close to my home. Touring has to be wearing you out but your book is beautiful and it'll be worth it. Soon you'll have new friends ALL over. See you a week from tomorrow!

I'm SO excited! I'm dancing up and down, doing the dance of joy! You are coming to Mysteries to Die For, the wonderful little bookstore right around the corner from my home in Westlake Village! I REALLY wanted to meet you and Voila! Here you are, SAT. Sept. 6th!
Unless you are accompanied by a gaggle of family and friends and have other plans. my husband and I would like to treat you to an early supper Chinese Seafood buffet after the signing. It's great buffet complete with fruits, crab legs, oriental salads and sushui--all the reason to eat AFTER you speak. i will be there with bells on!

Things are going great! Spooky's asleep on the chair next to the heater and i'm printing and Alan is cutting bookmarks. The wind was horrific here last night. How is it in San Francisco? I loved that city when I visited two years ago.
I'm looking forward to that too! I'm glad you're okay. The storm was much worse than it seemed last night when my husband was telling me that it looked like we were having 60 mph gusts. I think you guys up there really were! I'm hoping I'll be able to go from Westlake Village to Pasadena tomorrow.
I've met some really sharp authors from your area. I'm a real Laurie R. King fan and have no trouble at all comparing her To Play the Fool to The DaVinci Code. I loved it! I particularly love multi genre type books that step out of the usual. Your latin is fun, especially written in such a noir manner.

Sisters in Crime meets in Pasadina the first Sunday of each month, and I'm sure that you would be very welcome at any meeting. Whenever you're coming this way just let me know and I'll see if we can arrange to meet for lunch.

I like your hat. I like the comment in your blog about writing in which you compare it to "herding cats". You have a very kewl style about you.
