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.

Pulp. The source of all things gripping. Short choppy sentences. Tough guys. Tougher dames. Short attention span . . . oh look at the ponies!!

Thanks for the invite!

Love the covers - what a cool idea!
Thanks for being friendly. :)

Thanks. I like pulp in my orange juice, too, but it's harder to read than tea leaves.i

If the LIMCON attendees aren't your market, nobody is! C'mon down!

Saw you at APE this past year. Glad to see you here!

What a great concept!!! Have you gone to trade fairs? There's a market for this. 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. P.S. just posted an excerpt on my page here on crimespace.

Pulp in yer eye too, bro!

Howdy!

It's not from Double Indemnity--I just write it to make it sound as if it is. You see, I'm in the midst of a novel (I hope will be a series) . I've been living and breathing film noir and hardboiled novels night and day to get me in the mood. It's method writing, as I studied acting once many years ago. So here goe Mr Pulpyher goes some more Carole hardboiled: I like you. I like your approach and what you have to say. But then I like dogs that bite. You're a cool guy with a hot approach. Knowing you is a privilege even if it's sometimes painful. But we're all gluttons for punishment in some way. (more psuedo hardboiled dialogue ala carole gill)!

Glad I'm your friend, and not just another biz assoicate. I'm sure your heart's in the right place, even if it only beats when it wants something! Seriously, though--you're okay Mr Pulpy! I can tell.

I hear ya talkin', Gill. Now start orderin'!

After all, tomorrow is another day!

thanks for the add!

Racket, racket... There's a great bad pun lurking in there somewhere, with regards to Tucker's geography, but I'll just leave well enough the hell alone.

We showed him the light. This has nothing to do with Jesus. This is between Ray and his crime-fic-reading audience-at-large.

Well, we were meaning to, Ray. I mean, you have been looking a little puffy, lately.
