Favorite Book
So far in 2010 it's "Sovereign" by Sansom
About Me:
I love books & everything about books ~ reading & reviewing, sharing with other readers about books we've read, exploring book stores & libraries & discovering new books & authors, looking at books in bookshelves, writing books. I also love my daughter, my African Grey parrot Nickel, strong, rich coffee, and dark chocolate. I've been distracted the past few months and haven't been blogging as much as I would have liked, but I plan to change that in the near future.

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 Mary K,

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. I am writing because my debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or review it). If you're interested, I'd be glad to send you an e-book version of the book. Just let me know. I've included a summary of the novel below:

Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.

If you'd like to read the first chapter before you commit, feel free to visit my web site:

Thanks so much,
Chris

:::looks sheepish:: I am on librarything, shelfari and goodreads. If it involves books, I will drift to it and start obsessing. shartyrant is the one for librarything which I just started a "redo". Goodreads and shelfari I am more current. Goodreads I am under Shar T and shelfari is shartyrant. Do you use those as well or just librarything? I use all three as I like certain features on each. I just need them to combine all the good together for one site.

Thanks for the compliment on the icon. It sums up my views on how books make me feel. I read Good Omens when I was in college. The head librarian at the college I went to recommended it. I loved that book and bought it as soon as it came back into print. I am hoping to get a hardcover version of it soon. How did you come across it? Someone recommend it or are you a fan of the authors before this?
