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 Ann - Much obliged for the invite, ma'am ... I really appreciate it. You've got a great site going on there, and I hugely envy you your job ... I guess you go to work with a spring in your step! Cheers, Dec

Yeah, I like Pandora a lot, and since I have XM radio, I can listen to that on the computer. So much music, so little time.

The Walkabouts are great. Walter shared his some of CDs with me, as you know. Thanks for offering others, but I can listen to them (and have been) on a subscription service called Rhapsody. I've even heard a few minutes of the new Britney Spears CD. (That was plenty.)

Hi Ann., thanks for the invitation. Good for you for starting and keeping up with Overbooked. A daunting job. Your work will never be done but also what fun! Ciao camilla

Hi, Ann --

Thanks for the invitation. Like you, I'm overbooked, but that's better than no one wanting anything to do with you. Most of the time, anyway.

Anyway, glad to meet you.

Hi Ann:I would have left a comment earlier but I was...yes, overbooked. Was in Richmond this past weekend for a wedding and the mother of the bride asked me why I hadn't yet had a book signing there. I said it was because apparently, everyone was overbooked there.

Smiles,
Douglas Quinn

Ann, thanks for accepting the invite--and sorry to bombard you from so many directions!

Hi! Aren't we all overbooked?

Ann,
I'm looking forward to the Socorro book, too. The page proofs are on my dining room table right now. It'll be so good to have it in the world. I love the University of New Mexico Press, but it sure does take a long time on some projects . . .

Or maybe I'm just impatient.

Next time you come to NM, look me up.

Ha! Is that you? I'm very grateful for Overbooked! It's a wonderful way to get a bit of recognition now and then. A million thanks!

Gomez Adams...that cracks me up. Those bait shop hats and tees are made by my sister - we Burkes keep it all in the family.

Hi Ann! Nice to see a familiar face here on CrimeSpace. Thanks for the invite, and here's to ever increasing book budgets!

Hi Ann. Thanks for finding me on here. Pretty picture! And your guy's much better looking than John Cleese (Sorry Benn)

Hi Ann - glad to be your pal. Is that John Cleese with you in the photo?
;-)

Boy, am I honored to included as a friend here, Ann. thank you.

I love that you describe yourself as a "ravenous" reader; that's just beautiful. The "omnivorous" part is welcome, too. Often I see people limit themselves and miss some really good reads . . .

Hi Ann,
So many books so little time...I'm with you there. Thanks for the invite

Hi Ann: Heading for Richmond this coming weekend for a wedding. My reading has suffered with my writing schedule, but my nightstand is also "overbooked." Just posted a recent review of my current novel "Blue Heron Marsh" on my crimespace blog--hope you will check it out.

Smiles,

Off to Alaska in the morning
