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 Debbie
Best wishes for all your writing endeavors.

Hi Debbie-

Curious- what did you think of The Closer Christmas special? I just watched it the other night (I'm a tivo freak so I see everything late.)
Happy holidays-
Michelle

Hey--You didn't recognize me??? Check out the list of names on our page and tell me you don't personally know someone there. :)

Hi, Debbie. Pleased to meet you! Blessings--Laura

I had a Triumph years ago...the kind where the lights pop up. Well they kept popping up as thought the car has a will of its own. I keep trying to fit it into one of my mystery stories.
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 Crimespace page.

Hi, Debbie, thanks for the comment and the compliment on my blog. I also blog with Poe's Deadly Daughters on blogspot. Stop by and say hello. :)

Hi Debbie! I am the proud owner of a vintage 1973 TR6! My very first car ever was a TR6. For my (ahem, major milstone birthday), my dad tracked it down and tried to restore it, but it was too far gone. So he presented me with a beautiful TR6 (midnight blue) that looked as if it had just rolled off the showroom floor. What a great b-day! Triumphs rule! My protagonist drives a vintage TR6, natch.

Hi Debbie,

Nice to find a fellow Okie on the list. Hope you're in the "dry" part of the state. If there is such a thing this summer.

Best Wishes,

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for the comment! I like your taste in cars.

Debbie, Thank you re THE FOLLOWER...It's great to meet you here.
Cheers, Jason

I've tried and I can't write a book with a weak heroine. And forget having the hero rush in to save her...I like to have HER save HIM. LOL

Especially the strong minded and independent women - no matter what time period they live in :) Although there is speculation about my villains, since many of them are women :)

I totally agree with you about strong female leads. All my heroines are strong minded. The lead in Widow's Walk and Lady Lightkeeper is a strong minded woman in the 1840's and 1850's Cape Ann :) She stirs things up and has made a real impression on readers and reviewers. She's been a lot of fun to get to know :)

Hey Deb--Came by to warn you about a cyberstalker named Keith Spence. Shhhhh! I think he's close by. I'm keeping an eye on him.

Thanks for the invite, Debbie! Love the Novato area. Book Passage is right there!

Thrillerfest is in Manhattan July 12-15. You going? You could get a day pass. Damn, I wish I was going!!!

Hi, Newt, as a matter of fact I'll be on the east coast for 2 weeks in July.

Hey, Jordan...Novato, what a great place to grow up. You're brother and I may have been neighbors...you never know.

Damn!! I never realized we had this in common, Deb, but my big brother used to live in Navato before he retired from the Air Force. Small world. Glad you could make it. I love that pic of you. Cool shades. And Newt beat me here to spread the Crimespace love. How cool is he?!!
