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.
L.J.! Great to hear from you. Listen, I just posted a note to the main forum here and I'd like your opinion if you use any software during your writing processes. I'm about to plunge in to a rather challenging mystery and think maybe a little more organization of thought my be beneficial. Hope you're doing well on every level as well. Thanks for stopping by.
I'll be right over (if only) and we can sit on a porch with a pitcher of lemonade and eat pecan pie!
sometimes I get homesick for all things American!
one of these days!
Oh the Blue Ridge Mountains! I read something like that and I want to take the first plane back!
I'm not from there--a new yorker originally, but I loved the South and have never forgotten the sight of those gorgeous mountains!
just had to say hi and tell you!
I enjoyed your website and will look for your books. The only comment I have about the site is having a place for comments. The only link I found was for signings etc.
Your books are very believable. I couldn't find a bio on you, though, so I wondered about the background. Nevertheless, you've hooked me and I await Freezer Burn with great impatience!
Hey Susan,
Thanks for your wonderful message, I really appreciate it.
No background in forensics, I just researched my ass off (seriously, it used to be pert and muscular... okay, not really, but I did do a lot of research). The research part was fascinating and fun and I met a lot of great people, but man it adds to the workload. The next book is Freezer Burn, and it comes out June 3, 2008, so I'm starting to gear up for that. I see you're doing a radio, interview, that's excellent. My only advice; if it starts to drag, feign Tourette's...
Thanks again, and keep in touch!
Linton, thanks for the heads up. I've just fixed it. Thanks for the comment about the cover of Just North of Luck. Yes, the concept was mine. I'm very proud of it. do you actually know where Dudley is? WOW! Glad to know there are North Carolinians here.
Hey, Leighton! I just changed it! Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I've tried to do that before and it didn't "take", so I'm pleased that it will be easier to readers to but it now without a hassle. Best of luck with your reading and writing. Susan
