Title Collection

I guess it's an OCD attack, but it occured to me that daughters have been in the spotlight of books, lately. Apart from the fact that they add a nice touch of drama to book names, they really do seem to invoke good story lines lately:

The Bishop's Daughter, by Tiffany L. Warren
The Heretic's Daughter, by Kathleen Kent
The BoneMan's Daughters, by Ted Dekker
The Imposter's Daughter, by Laurie Sandell
The Gifted Gabaldon Sisters, by Lorraine Lopez (okay, so maybe this is stretching it a bit, but i… Continue

Hating Today's Weather

I can stand rain. I can stand the cold. But rain and cold together is just the most annoying, uncomfortable thing.

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.

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

At 10:39am on February 24, 2009, Lusty Reader said…: Emma is one of my favorite's too! Being so clueless (ok Alicia Silverstone was no Gwyneth Paltrow) about Mr. Knightley makes the ending that much better!

At 7:08pm on February 20, 2009, Francesca Ivy said…: Really? I sort of sensed that you are when I saw your name and profile....Although I was also thinking you might be Spanish. Oh you know, we did adopt Spanish names. :)

Nice to meet you. :)
