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.

Congratulations on your Covey nomination!

Hi Elizabeth, have to agree with your commments. I have been on MySpace for a while now and have to say that there is a very purile element to it.I have had to look twice at some of the comments, invitations and emails that have made their way to me. It is very worrying and certainly should be more tightly regulated. I am a great believer in free speech but there needs to protection afforded to people who are vulnerable and open to exploitation. I am contacting my other reader and writer friends on MySpace to make sure they are aware of Crimespace.

Hi Elysabeth. I remember you said you wanted to read the book some time ago. It will be out in paperback and available to order by the end of the month if you prefer it in hard copy.I'm very flattered that you still want to get your hands on a copy of 'A Study in Red'.

Thank you.

Brian

HA! The END of the marriage was what brought me here! I have family in both places. Usually get back 2-3 times a year! Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I am glad that I found you on here!

small world! i lived there from 79-83, and then from 85-87! I was married at Chiquloa Baptist church-went there for years!

HP-Honea Path?

Sounds very interesting! I would like for my children to read it! So are you actually from Belton?

Hello! I lived in the Anderson/Belton area for most of my life. I moved to KY 4 years ago. I will definitely have to read your stories!

'Tis a small world indeed. I was just talking to Aidana WillowRaven less than twelve hours ago and then I couldn't help but spot your very striking logo in the comment wall, on Tod Robinson's page. :)

Hi Elizabeth! Thanks so much for keeping in touch. I know what it's like during the summer, trying to keep up with kids, books, and life in general! Best, Kat=thryn

Thank you for the invite. It is like a taste of home.

Hi Elysabeth,

I have family in Anderson and spent a lot of my childhood there. My Aunt was an icon at the old Sullivan Hardware store. I think it is a restaurant now. My uncle was the pastor for Nell Townsend church up in North Anderson for many years. I love that area.

Wow, you're very busy. Writing, reviweing and interviewing.
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 Elysabeth, I'm glad to see you here. I remember you from Greenwood. That was a wonderful weekend and I hope to go back there sometime. Thanks for adding me as a friend.

Hi Elysabeth! Thanks for being my friend. The publisher (NAL/Obsidian) just sent me a box of ARCs. If you can send me your address, I would be honored to send you one! Best, Kathryn

Kathryn, I didn't exactly grow up (being an army brat - I've lived all over and was even born overseas) but have spent most of my life in the area now. I like it though - pretty quiet and friendly area (better than some places I've lived or remember). Thanks for inviting me to be your friend and looking forward to your book coming out - E :)
