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.
Death is a fairly definitive cure for insomnia, but with Ambien you can fall asleep, murder your neighbor and have a therapeautic excuse (several percent of Ambien users sleep walk and have no recollections of their activities) Don't say I never gave you a great idea for a story.
My book, The Beatitudes, is a paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. It will be out in the fall and I am donating all royalties directly to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Libraries support the infrastructure of a great city, so I have started The Beatitudes Network to promote awareness of the importance of public libraries in NOLA.
The blogsite www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com describes the Network, has excerpts from The Beatitudes, recipes, and more. Merci mille fois. Lyn Lejeune.
Writers, please pass the word…..it’s for a good cause….don’t let the libraries of New Orleans or the US go the way of The Great Library of Alexandria.
I have at least 5 copies of my new book, HONEYMOON FOR THREE, to give away to Crimespace members. Let me know if you are interested. I will need addresses of the winners. My email address is alcook@sprintmail.com.
Incidentally, Lilo was the name of the French lead in Can-Can when I saw it on Broadway in 1955. I recently saw a revival--but, unfortunately, Lilo wasn't in it.
In general, I'm a big admirer of the way law officers in the US have to be elected by the community they serve ... but the Duke case seemed like an illustration of what can happen when that system goes horribly wrong ...
Can you show me how to fix a porch? Because this boy hasn't got a clue ...
PS: Just been reading your blog - superb stuff. You were quite right about that appalling Brit judge, but then, our judges have gone collectively insane in recent years, as their obsession with placing the human rights of known terrorists on such a high level that known killers go free also demonstrates ... But you were equally good, from the opposite angle, as it were, on the false allegations of rape in the Duke case. Genuine balance! I thought that had long since disappeared ...
House ... I have a love-dislike relationship with that show. After a while, all complicated diseases sound alike ... and have simpled solutions someone should have thought of in the first fifteen minutes ... but I love the characters.
